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 metal-insulator transition is anticipated. As $T$ is lowered from 150 mK to 0.5 mK, the sign of the derivative of the resistivity with respect to $T$ changes from being positive to negative when the temperature is lowered below $sim$30 mK and the resistivity continuously rises with cooling down to 0.5 mK, suggesting a crossover from being metal-like to insulator-like.
CDW/Normal metal/CDW junctions and nanoconstrictions in crystals of the quasi-one-dimensional conductor NbSe$_3$ are manufactured using a focused-ion-beam. It is found that the low-temperature conduction of these structures changes dramatically and l
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 when the h
Reports of weak local minima in the magnetoresistance at $ u=2+3/5$, $2+3/7$, $2+4/9$, $2+5/9$, $2+5/7$, and $2+5/8$ in the second Landau level of the electron gas in GaAs/AlGaAs left open the possibility of fractional quantum Hall states at these fi
Using symmetry breaking strain to tune the valley occupation of a two-dimensional (2D) electron system in an AlAs quantum well, together with an applied in-plane magnetic field to tune the spin polarization, we independently control the systems valle
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 carrier density
