A new reentrant insulating phase (RIP) in low magnetic fields has been reported in the literature in strongly interacting 2D carrier systems and was suggested to be related to the formation of a Wigner crystal [e.g. Qiu et al, PRL 108,…
We report the observation of a re-entrant insulator--metal--insulator transition at B=0 in a two dimensional (2D) hole gas in GaAs at temperatures down to 30mK. At the lowest carrier densities the holes are strongly localised. As the…
How the two dimensional (2D) quantum Wigner crystal (WC) transforms into the metallic liquid phase remains to be an outstanding problem in physics. In theories considering the 2D WC to liquid transition in the clean limit, it was suggested…
We have observed a metal-insulator transition in an ultra-low density two dimensional hole gas formed in a high quality GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructure at B=0. At the highest carrier density studied ($p_{s}=2.2x10^{10} cm^{-2}, r_{s}=16$) the…
We report the transport properties of a low disorder two-dimensional hole system (2DHS) in the GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure, which has an unprecedentedly high peak mobility of $7\times 10^5cm^2/Vs$, with hole density of $4.8\times 10^9…
We present a study of the compressibility, K, of a two-dimensional hole system which exhibits a metal-insulator phase transition at zero magnetic field. It has been observed that dK/dp changes sign at the critical density for the…
We report thermopower measurements of interacting GaAs bilayer hole systems. When the carrier densities in the two layers are equal, these systems exhibit a reentrant insulating phase near the quantum Hall state at total filling factor…
Exploring a backgated low density two-dimensional hole sample in the large $r_s$ regime we found a surprisingly rich phase diagram. At the highest densities, beside the $\nu=1/3$, 2/3, and 2/5 fractional quantum Hall states, we observe both…
We report the observation of a metal insulator transition at B=0 in a high mobility two dimensional hole gas in a GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructure. A clear critical point separates the insulating phase from the metallic phase, demonstrating the…
The existence of a metal-insulator transition at zero magnetic field in two- dimensional electron systems has recently been confirmed in high mobility Si-MOSFETs. In this work, the temperature dependence of the resistivity of gated…
We study interacting GaAs hole bilayers in the limit of zero tunneling. When the layers have equal densities, we observe a phase coherent bilayer quantum Hall (QH) state at total filling factor $\nu=1$, flanked by insulating phases at…
For more than a decade it was widely accepted that two-dimensional electrons are insulating at zero temperature and at zero magnetic-field. Experimentally it was demonstrated that, when placed in a strong perpendicular magnetic field, the…
We have studied the magnetotransport properties of a high mobility two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) system in a 10nm GaAs quantum well (QW) with densities in range of 0.7-1.6*10^10 cm^-2 on the metallic side of the zero-field…
We have measured high frequency magnetotransport of a high quality two-dimensional electron system (2DES) near the reentrant insulating phase (RIP) at Landau fillings ($\nu$) between 1/5 and 2/9. The magneto\textit{conductivity} in the RIP…
We have measured the resistance noise of a two-dimensional (2D)hole system in a high mobility GaAs quantum well, around the 2D metal-insulator transition (MIT) at zero magnetic field. The normalized noise power $S_R/R^2$ increases strongly…
Observations are reported of a metal-insulator transition in a 2D hole gas in asymmetrically doped strained SiGe quantum wells. The metallic phase, which appears at low temperatures in these high mobility samples, is characterised by a…
We report transport measurements in HgTe-based quantum wells with well width of 8 nm, corresponding to quantum spin Hall state, subject to in-plane magnetic field. In the absence of the magnetic field the local and nonlocal resistances…
We report on the first experimental observation of an apparent metal insulator transition in a 2D electron gas confined in an InAs quantum well. At high densities we find that the carrier mobility is limited by background charged impurities…
The apparent metal-insulator transition is observed in a high quality two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in the strained Si quantum well of a Si/Si_{1-x}Ge_x heterostructure with mobility \mu=1.9 x 10^5 cm^2/Vs at density n=1.45 x…
Magnetoresistance measurements are presented for a strained p-SiGe quantum well sample where the density is varied through the B=0 metal-insulator transition. The close relationship between this transition, the high field Hall insulator…
