We study conductance fluctuations in a two-dimensional electron gas as a function of chemical potential (or gate voltage) from the strongly insulating to the metallic regime. Power spectra of the fluctuations decay with two distinct…

Beyond a critical disorder, two-dimensional (2D) superconductors become insulating. In this Superconductor-Insulator Transition (SIT), the nature of the insulator is still controversial. Here, we present an extensive experimental study on…

We study the temperature dependence of the conductivity of the 2D electronic solid. In realistic samples, a domain structure forms in the solid and each domain randomly orients in the absence of the in-plane field. At higher temperature,…

We have simulated energy relaxation and equilibrium dynamics in Coulomb Glasses using the random energy lattice model. We show that in a temperature range where the Coulomb Gap is already well developed, (T=0.03-0.1) the system still…

We derive and evaluate expressions for the frictional Coulomb drag between disordered two-dimensional electron gas layers. Our derivation is based on the memory-function formalism and the expression for the drag reduces to previously known…

We find that at intermediate temperatures, the metallic temperature dependence of the conductivity \sigma(T) of 2D electrons in silicon is described well by a recent interaction-based theory of Zala et al. (Phys. Rev. B 64, 214204 (2001)).…

The interrelation between disorder and interactions in two dimensional electron liquid is studied beyond weak coupling perturbation theory. Strong repulsion significantly reduces the electronic density of states on the Fermi level. This…

We show that in low dimensional disordered conductors, the quasiparticle decay and the relaxation of the phase are not exponential processes. In the quasi-one dimensional case, both behave at small time as $e^{- (t/\tau_{in})^{3/2}}$ where…

Studies of low-frequency resistance noise show that the glassy freezing of the two-dimensional electron system (2DES) in Si in the vicinity of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) persists in parallel magnetic fields B of up to 9 T. At low…

We study a controlled large-$N$ theory of electrons coupled to dynamical two-level systems (TLSs) via spatially-random interactions. Such a physical situation arises when electrons scatter off low-energy excitations in a metallic glass,…

The dynamic response of an interacting electron system is determined by an extension of the relaxation-time approximation forced to obey local conservation laws for number, momentum and energy. A consequence of these imposed constraints is…

We consider the problem of relaxation in a one-dimensional system of interacting electrons. In the limit of weak interactions, we calculate the decay rate of a single-electron excitation, accounting for the nonlinear dispersion. The leading…

We have measured the conductivity of high-mobility (001) Si metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) over wide ranges of electron densities n=(1.8-15)x10^11cm^2, temperatures T=30mK-4.2K, and in-plane magnetic fields…

In two dimensional electron systems with Coulomb or dipolar interactions, a direct transition, whether first or second order, from a liquid to a crystalline state is forbidden. As a result, between these phases there must be other…

We are honored to dedicate this article to Emmanuel Rashba on the occasion of his 95 birthday. In the ideal disorder-free situation, a two-dimensional band gap insulator has an activation energy for conductivity equal to half the band gap,…

We consider an out-of-equilibrium one-dimensional model for two electrical double-layers. With a combination of exact calculations and Brownian Dynamics simulations, we compute the relaxation time ($\tau$) for an electroneutral salt-free…

We investigate self-organized criticality in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) by introducing a lattice-based model that incorporates electron-electron interactions through the concept of coherence length. Our numerical simulations…

Competing phenomena in low dimensional systems can generate exotic electronic phases, either through symmetry breaking or a non-trivial topology. In two-dimensional (2D) systems, the interplay between superfluidity, disorder and repulsive…

Electrons confined to two dimensions display an unexpected diversity of behaviors as they are cooled to absolute zero. Noninteracting electrons are predicted to eventually "localize" into an insulating ground state, and it has long been…

A new relaxation mechanism is shown to arise from overdamped two-level systems above a critical temperature $T^*\approx 5$ K, thus yielding an explanation for experimental observations in dielectric glasses in the temperature range between…
