Properties of the apparent metal-insulator transition in two-dimensional systems
The low-temperature conductivity of low-density, high-mobility, two-dimensional hole systems in GaAs was studied. We explicitly show that the metal-insulator transition, observed in these systems, is characterized by a well-defined critical density, p0 c . We also observe that the low-temperature conductivity of these systems depends linearly on the hole density, over a wide density range. The ...
متن کاملThermodynamic density of states of two-dimensional GaAs systems near the apparent metal-insulator transition.
We perform combined resistivity and compressibility studies of two-dimensional hole and electron systems which show the apparent metal-insulator transition--a crossover in the sign of deltaR/deltaT with changing density. No thermodynamic anomalies have been detected in the crossover region. Instead, despite a tenfold difference in r(s), the compressibility of both electrons and holes is well de...
متن کاملMetal-Insulator Transition in a Low-Mobility Two-Dimensional Electron System
We have varied the disorder in a two-dimensional electron system in silicon by applying substrate bias. When the disorder becomes sufficiently low, we observe the emergence of the metallic phase, and find evidence for a metal-insulator transition (MIT): the single-parameter scaling of conductivity with temperature near a critical electron density. We obtain the scaling function β, which determi...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transition in disordered two-dimensional electron systems.
We present a theory of the metal-insulator transition in a disordered two-dimensional electron gas. A quantum critical point, separating the metallic phase, which is stabilized by electronic interactions, from the insulating phase, where disorder prevails over the electronic interactions, has been identified. The existence of the quantum critical point leads to a divergence in the density of st...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transition in two-dimensional Ando model
The transport properties of the Ando model on square lattice are studied numerically for box distribution of the diagonal disorder. The statistical properties of the Lyapunov exponents and of the conductance are discussed. It is shown that the statistics of the Lyapunov exponents agrees with the random matrix theory not only in the metallic regime, but even at the critical point. That confirms ...
