The magnetic field of complete spin polarization is calculated in a disorderless single-valley strongly-interacting 2D electron system. In the metallic region above the Wigner-Mott transition, non-equilibrium spin states are predicted, which should give rise to hysteresis in the magnetization.

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 $n_t$ consistent with the critical form $(-T/S) propto (n_s-n_t)^x$ with $x=1.0pm 0.1$ ($T$ is the temperature). Our results provide clear evidence for an interaction-induced transition to a new phase at low density in a strongly-interacting 2D electron system.
The increase in the resistivity with decreasing temperature followed by a drop by more than one order of magnitude is observed on the metallic side near the zero-magnetic-field metal-insulator transition in a strongly interacting two-dimensional electron system in ultra-clean SiGe/Si/SiGe quantum wells. We find that the temperature $T_{text{max}}$, at which the resistivity exhibits a maximum, is close to the renormalized Fermi temperature, in agreement with the dynamical mean-field theory. However, rather than increasing along with the Fermi temperature, the value $T_{text{max}}$ decreases appreciably for spinless electrons in spin-polarizing magnetic fields, which is in contradiction with the theory in its current form. Remarkably, the characteristic scaling of the resistivity, predicted by the theory, holds in both spin-unpolarized and completely spin-polarized systems.
We present thermal and electrical transport measurements of low-density (10$^{14}$ m$^{-2}$), mesoscopic two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs) in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures at sub-Kelvin temperatures. We find that even in the supposedly strongly localised regime, where the electrical resistivity of the system is two orders of magnitude greater than the quantum of resistance $h/e^2$, the thermopower decreases linearly with temperature indicating metallicity. Remarkably, the magnitude of the thermopower exceeds the predicted value in non-interacting metallic 2DESs at similar carrier densities by over two orders of magnitude. Our results indicate a new quantum state and possibly a novel class of itinerant quasiparticles in dilute 2DESs at low temperatures where the Coulomb interaction plays a pivotal role.
We show that the merging of the spin- and valley-split Landau levels at the chemical potential is an intrinsic property of a strongly-interacting two-dimensional electron system in silicon. Evidence for the level merging is given by available experimental data.
A strongly spin-orbital coupled systems could be in a magnetic ordered phase at zero field. However, a Zeeman field could drive it into different quantum or topological phases. In this work, starting from general symmetry principle, we construct various effective actions to study all these quantum phases and phase transitions which take different forms depending on the condensation momenta are commensurate or in-commensurate. We not only recover all these quantum phases and their excitations achieved by the microscopic calculations, but also discover several novel classes of quantum phase transitions with dynamic exponents $ z=1, z=2 $ and anisotropic ones $ (z_x=3/2, z_y=3) $ respectively. We determine the relations between the quantum spin and the order parameters of the effective actions which display rich spin-orbital structures. We find a new type of dangerously irrelevant operator we name type-II, in distinction from the known one we name type-I. We explore a new phenomena called order parameter fractionization where one complex order parameter split into two which is different than quantum spin fractionization into a spinon and a $ Z_2 $ flux. Finite temperature transitions are presented. The dynamic spin-spin correlation functions are evaluated. Thermal Hall conductivities are discussed. The cases with the $ U(1)_{soc} $ symmetry explicitly broken are briefly outlined. In view of recent experimental advances in generating 2d SOC for cold atoms in optical lattices, these new many-body phenomena can be explored in the near future cold atom experiments. Implications to various SOC materials such as MnSi, Fe$_{0.5}$Co$_{0.5}$Si, especially 4d Kitaev materials $alpha$-RuCl$_3$ in a Zeeman field are outlined.
