We studied the drag resistivity between dilute two-dimensional hole systems, near the apparent metal-insulator transition. We find the deviations from the $T^{2}$ dependence of the drag to be independent of layer spacing and correlated with…
The quantum-classical crossover from the Fermi liquid towards the Wigner solid is numerically revisited, considering small square lattice models where electrons interact via a Coulomb U/r potential. We review a series of exact numerical…
