Last year, iron was reported to become superconducting at temperatures below 2K and pressures between 15 and 30 GPa. The evidence presented was a weak resistivity drop, suppressed by a magnetic field above 0.2 T, and a small Meissner…
The recent experimental observation of a metal-insulator transition in two dimensions prompts a re-examination of the theory of disordered interacting systems. We argue that the existing theory permits the existence of a metallic phase and…
