For the states with low reduced conductivity g<<1 an anomalously weak temperature dependence of g was found. The large negative magnetoresistance described by the Lorentz line-shape of the width corresponding to the half magnetic flux quantum through the area of the billiard is observed. In going from g>1 to g<<1 it strongly increases. The Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations and commensurability magnetoresistance peak are preserved at g<<1. The data suggest that the system studied behaves more like a metal than an insulator at g<<1 and is not described by the generally accepted picture of Anderson localization.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-02-18T08:06:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coupled sinai billiards", "2d lattice", "high-mobility 2d electron gas", "shubnikov-de haas oscillations", "commensurability magnetoresistance peak" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physica B Condensed Matter", "year": 1999, "volume": 256, "pages": 595 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999PhyB..256..595B" } } }
