With decreasing density $n_s$ the thermopower $S$ of a low-disorder 2D electron system in silicon is found to exhibit a sharp increase by more than an order of magnitude, tending to a divergence at a finite, disorder-independent density…
We theoretically study the Coulomb drag in graphene when there is a temperature difference between the layers. Within the degenerate limit for equal layer densities, we find that this can lead to significant deviations from the usual…
We argue, for a wide class of systems including graphene, that in the low temperature, high density, large separation and strong screening limits the drag resistivity behaves as d^{-4}, where d is the separation between the two layers. The…
Electron tunneling experiments are used to probe Coulomb correlation effects in the single-particle density-of-states (DOS) of boron-doped silicon crystals near the critical density of the metal-insulator transition (MIT). At low energies,…
