Ignited by the discovery of the metal-insulator transition, the behaviour of low-disorder two-dimensional (2D) electron systems is currently the focus of a great deal of attention. In the strongly-interacting limit, electrons are expected…
We present a model for the metal-insulator transition in 2D, observed in the recent years. Our starting point consists of two ingredients only, which are ubiquitous in the experiments: Coulomb interactions and weak disorder spin-orbit…
Magnetotransport measurements were performed in a ultra-high mobility GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well of density $\sim 3.0 \times 10^{11}$ $cm^{-2}$. The temperature dependence of the magnetoresistance $R_{xx}$ was studied in detail in the…
Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy in ultra-high vacuum at low temperature (T = 0.3 K) and high magnetic fields (B < 12 T), we directly probe electronic wave functions across an integer quantum Hall transition. In accordance with…
Light-induced quantum phases offer the potential for simple and powerful tuning of material properties. For example, simply illuminating 2D materials in the integer quantum Hall regime with polarized light is predicted to drive quantum…
The chiral Luttinger liquid model for the edge dynamics of a two-dimensional electron gas in a strong magnetic field is derived from coarse-graining and a lowest Landau level projection procedure at arbitrary filling factors $\nu<1$ --…
We investigated theoretically the Coulomb drag effect in coupled 2D electron gases in a wide interval of magnetic field and temperature $ 1/\tau \ll \omega_c \ll E_F/\hbar$, $T \ll E_F$, $\tau$ being intralayer scattering time, $\omega_c$…
The influence of long-range Coulomb interactions on the properties of one-dimensional (1D) strongly correlated electron systems in vicinity of the metal-insulator phase transition is considered. It is shown that unscreened repulsive Coulomb…
We study a spinless two-band model at half-filling in the limit of infinite dimensions. The ground state of this model in the non-interacting limit is a band-insulator. We identify transitions to a metal and to a charge-Mott insulator,…
2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) exhibit an electron-hole liquid phase transition at unusually high temperatures. Because these materials are atomically thin, optical excitation leads to material expansion. As a result, during…
We report on our investigation of the low-lying energy spectra and charge density of a two-dimensional quantum Hall liquid at $\nu=\frac25$ that is Coulomb coupled to a quantum dot. The dot contains a hole and two/three electrons. We found…
Monolayer films of transition metal dichalcogenides (in particular, MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2) can be considered as ideal systems for the studies of high-temperature electron-hole liquids. The quasi-two-dimensional nature of electrons and…
We report the observation of TEMPERATURE-INDUCED transitions between insulator, metal, and quantum-Hall behaviors for transport coefficients in the very dilute high mobility two-dimensional electron system in silicon. We consider the…
Here we study the single-particle, electronic transport and optical properties of a gapped system described by a simple two-band Hamiltonian with inverted valence bands. We analyze its properties in the three-dimensional (3D) and the…
The conductance of a disordered finite-size electron system is calculated by reducing the initial dynamic problem of arbitrary dimensionality to strictly one-dimensional problems for one-particle mode propagators. The metallic ground state…
Two-dimensional electron gas in the integer quantum Hall regime is investigated numerically by studying the dynamics of an electron hopping on a square lattice subject to a perpendicular magnetic field and random on-site energy with white…
Transport measurements made on films of thallium-oxide (n-type semiconductor) are presented and discussed. The focus in this work is on the strongly-localized regime where charge transport is by variable-range-hopping. It is demonstrated…
The single-particle dynamics close to a metal-to-insulator transition induced by strong repulsive interaction between the electrons is investigated. The system is described by a half-filled Hubbard model which is treated by dynamic…
The existence of a discontinuity in the inverse dielectric constant of the two-dimensional Coulomb gas is demonstrated on purely numerical grounds. This is done by expanding the free energy in an applied twist and performing a finite-size…
Electrons in correlated insulators are prevented from conducting by Coulomb repulsion between them. When an insulator-to-metal transition is induced in a correlated insulator by doping or heating, the resulting conducting state can be…
