We report on a zero magnetic field transport study of a two-dimensional, variable-density, hole system in GaAs. As the density is varied we observe, for the first time in GaAs-based materials, a crossover from an insulating behavior at…
We present a study of the temperature and density dependence of the resistivity of an extremely high quality two-dimensional hole system grown on the (100) surface of GaAs. For high densities in the metallic regime ($p\agt 4 \times 10^{9}$…
The zero-field temperature-dependence of the resistivity of two-dimensional holes are observed to exhibit two qualitatively different characteristics for a fixed carrier density for which only the metallic behavior of the so-called…
By carefully analyzing the low temperature density dependence of 2D conductivity in undoped high mobility n-GaAs heterostructures, we conclude that the 2D metal-insulator transition in this system is a density inhomogeneity driven…
The conductivity of extremely high mobility dilute two-dimensional holes in GaAs changes linearly with temperature in the insulating side of the metal-insulator transition. Hopping conduction, characterized by an exponentially decreasing…
We perform combined resistivity and compressibility studies of two-dimensional hole and electron systems which show the apparent metal-insulator transition - a crossover in the sign of dR/dT with changing density. No thermodynamic anomalies…
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…
We have studied the metallic behaviour in low density GaAs hole systems, and Si electron systems, close to the apparent two-dimensional metal-insulator transition. Two observations suggest a semi-classical origin for the metallic-like…
The observation of a carrier-density driven metal-insulator transition in n-type GaAs-based heterostructure is reported. Although weaker than in comparable-quality p-type GaAs samples, the main features of the transition are rather similar.
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 on a metal-insulator transition in the LaAlO3-SrTiO3 interface electron system, of which the carrier density is tuned by an electric gate field. Below a critical carrier density n_c ranging from 0.5-1.5 * 10^13/cm^2, LaAlO3-SrTiO3…
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 $4.8\times 10^9…
We report the observation of a metal insulator transition at B=0 in a high mobility two dimensional hole gas in a GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructure. A clear critical point separates the insulating phase from the metallic phase, demonstrating the…
We report on the first experimental observation of an apparent metal insulator transition in a 2D electron gas confined in an InAs quantum well. At high densities we find that the carrier mobility is limited by background charged impurities…
Observations are reported of a metal-insulator transition in a 2D hole gas in asymmetrically doped strained SiGe quantum wells. The metallic phase, which appears at low temperatures in these high mobility samples, is characterised by a…
The low-temperature resistivity of a SiGe 2-dimensional hole gas has been studied using the gate controlled carrier density as a parameter. A metal-insulator transition is seen both in the temperature and in the electric field behaviour.…
We propose that the observed low density ``insulating'' phase of a 2D semiconductor system, with the carrier density being just below ($n < n_c$) the so-called critical density where the derivative of resistivity changes sign at low…
High quality strongly correlated two-dimensional (2D) electron systems at low temperatures $T\rightarrow 0$ exhibits an apparent metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) at a large $r_s$ value around 40. We have measured the magnetoresistance of…
A metal-insulator transition in two-dimensional electron gases at B=0 is found in Ga(Al)As heterostructures, where a high density of self-assembled InAs quantum dots is incorporated just 3 nm below the heterointerface. The transition occurs…
This paper reports thermopower and conductivity measurements through the metal-insulator transition for 2-dimensional electron gases in high mobility Si-MOSFETs. At low temperatures both thermopower and conductivity show critical behaviour…
