The positive magneto-resistance in perpendicular magnetic field in the strongly insulating regime has been measured to evaluate the spatial concentration of localized states within a mesoscopic region of the samples. An independent measurement of the electron density within the same region shows an unexpected correspondence between the density of electrons in the metallic regime and that of the localized states in the insulating phase. We have argued that this correspondence manifests a rigid distribution of electrons at low densities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-03-22T14:16:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "mesoscopic length scales", "dynamic localization", "high-quality 2d electron systems", "low carrier densities", "perpendicular magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
