TOPOLOGICALLY ORDERED ZIGZAG NANORIBBON: e/2 Fractionally Charged Anyons and Spin-Charge Separation

This is the first graduate level textbook of topologically ordered phases with emphasis on graphene zigzag nanoribbons. It also explains common properties of several other topologically ordered phases as well as the e/2 fractional charge quantization and spin-charge separation of an electron.
