Magnetoconductance (MC) in a parallel magnetic field B has been measured in a two-dimensional electron system in Si, in the regime where the conductivity decreases as \sigma (n_s,T,B=0)=\sigma (n_s,T=0) + A(n_s)T^2 (n_s -- carrier density)…

It is well established that for non-interacting electrons, increasing disorder drives a metal into a gapless localized Anderson insulator. While in three dimensions a threshold in disorder must be crossed for the transition, in two…
