We explore the scaling description for a two-dimensional metal-insulator transition (MIT) of electrons in silicon. Near the MIT, $\beta_{T}/p = (-1/p)d(\ln g)/d(\ln T)$ is universal (with $p$, a sample dependent exponent, determined…
We show that under an a.c. magnetic field excitation the vortex lattice in a superconductor with periodic array of holes can undergo a transition from a Mott-like state where each vortex is localized in a hole, to a metal-like state where…
Drude weight ($D$) is a useful measure to distinguish a metal from an insulator. However, $D$ has not been justifiably estimated by the variation theory for long, since Millis and Coppersmith [Phys. Rev. B 43 (1991) 13770] pointed out that…
