We study two dimensional electron systems confined in wide quantum wells whose subband separation is comparable with the Zeeman energy. Two N = 0 Landau levels from different subbands and with opposite spins are pinned in energy when they…
Landau's quasiparticle formalism is generalized to describe a wide class of strongly correlated Fermi systems, in addition to conventional Fermi liquids. This class includes (i) so-called marginal exemplars and (ii) systems that harbor…
We observe that in a strongly interacting two-dimensional electron system in ultra-clean SiGe/Si/SiGe quantum wells, the resistivity on the metallic side near the metal-insulator transition increases with decreasing temperature, reaches a…
