In both cases, the rho(T=const.,n) curves for various values of the temperature T seem to exhibit an offset concerning n, where the related resistivity is close to h/e^2. This offset may result from a peculiarity in rho(T=const.,n) indicating the MIT to be present also at finite T. More detailed experiments are imperative.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-09-27T20:36:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "metal-insulator transition", "finite temperatures", "two-dimensional systems", "persistence", "charge carrier concentration" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002cond.mat..9652M" } } }
