Metal–Insulator Transition in Zinc-Doped LaSrCuO
The magnetotransport in the vicinity of the metal–insulator transition in La1.85Sr0.15CuxZn1−xO4 is studied in the mK temperature range. Both longitudinal and transverse magnetoresistance are negative indicating the importance of spin effects. The magnitude of transverse magnetoresistance is larger than the magnitude of longitudinal magnetoresistance, indicating the absence of positive orbital ...
متن کاملMetal-insulator Transition in Homogeneously Doped Germanium
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) in doped semiconductors with a random distribution of impurities is a unique quantum phase transition in the sense that both disorder and electron-electron interaction play a key role (see for example Refs. 1 and 2). The metallic phase of the transition is characterized by a finite electrical conductivity at T = 0, while the conductivity in the insulating ph...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transition in a doped semiconductor
Millikelvin measurements of the conductivity as a function of donor density and uniaxial stress in bulk samples of phosphorus-doped silicon establish that the transition from metal to insulator is continuous, but sharper than predicted by scaling theories of localization. The divergence of the dielectric susceptibility as the transition is approached from below also points out problems in curre...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of delocalization in the vicinity of the metal–insulator transition in doped semiconductors
A temperature-induced crossover from hopping to metallic conductivity is observed for barely insulating samples of Ge:As and Ge:Sb with impurity concentration N just below the critical value Nc0. The values of the correlation length ξ are obtained on both sides of the transition. A method is developed for determination of a ‘delocalization temperature’ Td , which separates the hopping and metal...
متن کاملQuantum spin liquids and the metal-insulator transition in doped semiconductors.
We describe a new possible route to the metal-insulator transition in doped semiconductors such as Si:P or Si:B. We explore the possibility that the loss of metallic transport occurs through Mott localization of electrons into a quantum spin liquid state with diffusive charge neutral "spinon" excitations. Such a quantum spin liquid state can appear as an intermediate phase between the metal and...
