At low temperatures both thermopower and conductivity show critical behavior as a function of electron density which is very similar to that expected for an Anderson transition. In particular, when approaching the critical density from the metallic side the diffusion thermopower appears to diverge and the conductivity vanishes. On the insulating side the thermopower shows an upturn with decreasing temperature.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-02-28T16:54:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "metal-insulator transition", "critical behavior", "high-mobility si-mosfets", "letter reports thermopower", "diffusion thermopower appears" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000cond.mat..2436F" } } }
