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 have been detected in the crossover region. Instead, despite a ten-fold difference in r_s, the compressibility of both electrons and holes is well described by the theory of nonlinear screening of the random potential. We show that the resistivity exhibits a scaling behavior near the percolation threshold found from analysis of the compressibility. Notably, the percolation transition occurs at a much lower density than the crossover.

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 exponents (1/v_l
and 1/v_h). For conductivity $sigmasim 0.1 e^{2}/h$, we find a third exponent (1/v_i) in the shortest samples, and non-monotonic dependence of v_i and v_l on sigma. We study the dependence of v_i, v_l, v_h, and the variances of corresponding fluctuations on sigma, sample size, and temperature. The anomalies near $sigmasimeq 0.1 e^{2}/h$ indicate that the dielectric response and screening length are critically behaved, i.e. that Coulomb correlations dominate the physics.
We explore the scaling description for a two-dimensional metal-insulator transition (MIT) of electrons in silicon. Near the MIT, $beta_{T}/p = (-1/p)d(ln g)/d(ln T)$ is universal (with $p$, a sample dependent exponent, determined separately; $g$--con
ductance, $T$--temperature). We obtain the characteristic temperatures $T_0$ and $T_1$ demarking respectively the quantum critical region and the regime of validity of single parameter scaling in the metallic phase, and show that $T_1$ vanishes as the transition is approached. For $T<T_1$, the scaling of the data requires a second parameter. Moreover, all of the data can be described with two-parameter scaling at all densities -- even far from the transition.
Assembling transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) at the two-dimensional (2D) limit is a promising approach for tailoring emerging states of matter such as superconductivity or charge density waves (CDWs). Single-layer (SL) VSe$_2$ stands out in th
is regard because it exhibits a strongly enhanced CDW transition with a higher transition temperature compared to the bulk in addition to an insulating phase with an anisotropic gap at the Fermi level, causing a suppression of anticipated 2D ferromagnetism in the material. Here, we investigate the interplay of electronic and lattice degrees of freedom that underpin these electronic phases in SL VSe$_2$ using ultrafast pump-probe photoemission spectroscopy. In the insulating state, we observe a light-induced closure of the energy gap on a timescale of 480 fs, which we disentangle from the ensuing hot carrier dynamics. Our work thereby reveals that the phase transition in SL VSe$_2$ is driven by electron-lattice coupling and demonstrates the potential for controlling electronic phases in 2D materials with light.
Measurements of conductance $G$ on short, wide, high-mobility Si-MOSFETs reveal both a two-dimensional metal-insulator transition (MIT) at moderate temperatures (1 $<~ T <$ 4~K) and mesoscopic fluctuations of the conductance at low temperatures ($T~
<$ 1~K). Both were studied as a function of chemical potential (carrier concentration $n_s$) controlled by gate voltage ($V_g$) and magnetic field $B$ near the MIT. Fourier analysis of the low temperature fluctuations reveals several fluctuation scales in $V_g$ that vary non-monotonically near the MIT. At higher temperatures, $G(V_g,B)$ is similar to large FETs and exhibits a MIT. All of the observations support the suggestion that the MIT is driven by Coulomb interactions among the carriers.
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 at resist
ances around h/e^2 and critical carrier densities of 1.2 10^11cm^-2. Effects of electron-electron interactions are expected to be rather weak in our samples, while disorder plays a crucial role.
