We report measurements on a Si-MOSFET sample with a slot in the upper gate, allowing for different electron densities n_{1,2} across the slot. The dynamic longitudinal resistance was measured by the standard lock-in technique, while maintaining a large DC current through the source-drain channel. We find that the conductance of the sample in a strong parallel magnetic field is asymmetric with respect to the DC current direction. This asymmetry increases with magnetic field. The results are interpreted in terms of electron spin accumulation or depletion near the slot.

The transversal and longitudinal resistance in the quantum Hall effect regime was measured in a Si MOSFET sample in which a slot-gate allows one to vary the electron density and filling factor in different parts of the sample. In case of unequal gate
voltages, the longitudinal resistances on the opposite sides of the sample differ from each other because the originated Hall voltage difference is added to the longitudinal voltage only on one side depending on the gradient of the gate voltages and the direction of the external magnetic field. After subtracting the Hall voltage difference, the increase in longitudinal resistance is observed when electrons on the opposite sides of the slot occupy Landau levels with different spin orientations.
We report the results of an experimental study of the magnetoresistance $rho_{xx}$ in two samples of $p$-Si/SiGe/Si with low carrier concentrations $p$=8.2$times10^{10}$ cm$^{-2}$ and $p$=2$times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$. The research was performed in the t
emperature range of 0.3-2 K in the magnetic fields of up to 18 T, parallel to the two-dimensional (2D) channel plane at two orientations of the in-plane magnetic field $B_{parallel}$ against the current $I$: $B_{parallel} perp I$ and $B_{parallel} parallel I$. In the sample with the lowest density in the magnetic field range of 0-7.2 T the temperature dependence of $rho_{xx}$ demonstrates the metallic characteristics ($d rho_{xx}/dT>$0). However, at $B_{parallel}$ =7.2 T the derivative $d rho_{xx}/dT$ reverses the sign. Moreover, the resistance depends on the current orientation with respect to the in-plane magnetic field. At $B_{parallel} cong$ 13 T there is a transition from the dependence $ln(Deltarho_{xx} / rho_{0})propto B_{parallel}^2$ to the dependence $ln(Deltarho_{xx} / rho_{0})propto B_{parallel}$. The observed effects can be explained by the influence of the in-plane magnetic field on the orbital motion of the charge carriers in the quasi-2D system.
We investigate conductance fluctuations as a function of carrier density $n$ and magnetic field in diffusive mesoscopic samples made from monolayer and bilayer graphene. We show that the fluctuations correlation energy and field, which are functions
of the diffusion coefficient, have fundamentally different variations with $n$, illustrating the contrast between massive and massless carriers. The field dependent fluctuations are nearly independent of $n$, but the $n$-dependent fluctuations are not universal and are largest at the charge neutrality point. We also measure the second order conductance fluctuations (mesoscopic rectification). Its field asymmetry, due to electron-electron interaction, decays with conductance, as predicted for diffusive systems.
We study the non-linear conductance $mathcal{G}simpartial^2I/partial V^2|_{V=0}$ in coherent quasi-1D weakly disordered metallic wires. The analysis is based on the calculation of two fundamental correlators (correlations of conductances functional d
erivatives and correlations of injectivities), which are obtained explicitly by using diagrammatic techniques. In a coherent wire of length $L$, we obtain $mathcal{G}sim0.006,E_mathrm{Th}^{-1}$ (and $langlemathcal{G}rangle=0$), where $E_mathrm{Th}=D/L^2$ is the Thouless energy and $D$ the diffusion constant; the small dimensionless factor results from screening, i.e. cannot be obtained within a simple theory for non-interacting electrons. Electronic interactions are also responsible for an asymmetry under magnetic field reversal: the antisymmetric part of the non-linear conductance (at high magnetic field) being much smaller than the symmetric one, $mathcal{G}_asim0.001,(gE_mathrm{Th})^{-1}$, where $ggg1$ is the dimensionless (linear) conductance of the wire. Weakly coherent regimes are also studied: for $L_varphill L$, where $L_varphi$ is the phase coherence length, we get $mathcal{G}sim(L_varphi/L)^{7/2}E_mathrm{Th}^{-1}$, and $mathcal{G}_asim(L_varphi/L)^{11/2}(gE_mathrm{Th})^{-1}llmathcal{G}$ (at high magnetic field). When thermal fluctuations are important, $L_Tll L_varphill L$ where $L_T=sqrt{D/T}$, we obtain $mathcal{G}sim(L_T/L)(L_varphi/L)^{7/2}E_mathrm{Th}^{-1}$ (the result is dominated by the effect of screening) and $mathcal{G}_asim(L_T/L)^2(L_varphi/L)^{7/2}(gE_mathrm{Th})^{-1}$. All the precise dimensionless prefactors are obtained. Crossovers towards the zero magnetic field regime are also analysed.
By analyzing the temperature ($T$) and density ($n$) dependence of the measured conductivity ($sigma$) of 2D electrons in the low density ($sim10^{11}$cm$^{-2}$) and temperature (0.02 - 10 K) regime of high-mobility (1.0 and 1.5 $times 10^4$ cm$^2$/V
s) Si MOSFETs, we establish that the putative 2D metal-insulator transition is a density-inhomogeneity driven percolation transition where the density-dependent conductivity vanishes as $sigma (n) propto (n - n_p)^p$, with the exponent $p sim 1.2$ being consistent with a percolation transition. The `metallic behavior of $sigma (T)$ for $n > n_p$ is shown to be well-described by a semi-classical Boltzmann theory, and we observe the standard weak localization-induced negative magnetoresistance behavior, as expected in a normal Fermi liquid, in the metallic phase.
