We present a model that explains two phenomena, recently observed in high-mobility Si-MOS structures: (i) the strong enhancement of metallic conduction at low temperatures, T<2 K, and (ii) the occurrence of the metal-insulator transition in…
It is shown that recent experiments indicating a metal-insulator transition in 2D electron systems can be interpreted in terms of a simple model, in which the resistivity is controlled by scattering at charged hole traps located in the…
A key prediction of the trap model for the new conducting state in 2D is that the resistivity turns upwards below some characteristic temperature, $T_{\rm min}$. Altshuler, Maslov, and Pudalov have argued that the reason why no upturn has…
We theoretically study the dipole oscillations of an ideal Fermi gas in a disordered trap. We show that even weak disorder induces strong damping of the oscillations and we identify a metal-insulator crossover. For very weak disorder, we…

For conventional ion traps, the trapping potential is close to independent of the electronic state, providing confinement for ions dependent primarily on their charge-to-mass ratio $Q/m$. In contrast, storing ions within an optical dipole…

Many-body dipolar effects in Fermi gases are quite subtle as they energetically compete with the large kinetic energy at and below the Fermi surface (FS). Recently it was experimentally observed that the FS is deformed from a sphere to an…
