Properties of the apparent metal-insulator transition in two-dimensional systems

چکیده
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 high-density linear conductivity extrapolates to zero at a density close to the critical density. @S0163-1829~98!50536-X#

Manganites are considered as subbranches of condensed matter physics with a great wealth of physical mechanisms. In this investigation we have studied the structural, electrical and magnetic properties of a series of La1-xCaxMnO3 manganite with x=0.1, 0.2, …,0.5. We observed that the crystal structure of this manganite, with small dopping, at room temperature is orthorhombic and by increasi...
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 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...

Structural and electronic properties of double perovskites Sr2BWO6 (B = Co, Ni, Cu) were studied for each of three magnetic configurations nonmagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic by using density functional theory in generalized gradient approximations (GGA) and strong correlation correction (GGA + U). Due to magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to nonmagnetic phase, an electr...
متن کاملMetal-Insulator and Superconductor-Insulator Transitions in Correlated Electron Systems
Quantum transitions between the Mott insulator and metals by controlling filling in two-dimensional square lattice are characterized by a large dynamical exponent z = 4 where the origin of unusual metallic properties near the Mott insulator are ascribed to the proximity of the transition. The scaling near the transition indicates the formation of flat dispersion area due to singular momentum de...
