چکیده

We have measured the low-temperature transport properties of a high-mobility front-gated GaAs/Al 0.33 Ga 0.67 As heterostructure. By changing the applied gate voltage, we can vary the amount of disorder within the system. At a Landau level filling factor ν = 1/2, where the system can be described by the composite fermion picture, we observe a crossover from metallic to insulating behaviour as the disorder is increased. Experimental results and theoretical prediction are compared.

F eb 1 99 7 1 Slave - Boson Mean - Field Theory of the Antiferromagnetic State in the Doubly Degenerate Hubbard Model - The Half - Filled Case

The antiferromagnetic ground state of the half-filled Hubbard model with the doubly degenerate orbital has been studied by using the slave-boson mean-field theory which was previously proposed by the present author. Numerical calculations for the simple cubic model have shown that the metal-insulator transition does not take place except at the vanishing interaction point, in strong contrast wi...

2 A pr 1 99 7 Fermi - sea - like correlations in a partially filled Landau level

The pair distribution function and the static structure factor are computed for composite fermions. Clear and robust evidence for a 2kF structure is seen in a range of filling factors in the vicinity of the half-filled Landau level. Surprisingly, it is found that filled Landau levels of composite fermions, i.e. incompressible FQHE states, bear a stronger resemblance to a Fermi sea than do fille...

Disproportionation, metal-insulator transition, and critical interaction strength in Na(1/2)CoO2.

Charge disproportionation (CD) and spin differentiation in Na(1/2)CoO2 are studied using the correlated band local-density approximation + Hubbard U (LDA+U) approach. The simultaneous CD and gap opening seen previously is followed in detail through a first-order charge disproportionation transition 2Co(3.5+)-->Co3++Co4+. Disproportionation in the Co a(g) orbital results in half of the ions (Co3...

2 7 N ov 1 99 9 A possible role of D − band in hopping conductivity and metal - insulator transition in 2 D structures

A simple two-band model is suggested explaining recently reported unusual features for hopping magnetoresistance and the metal-insulator transition in 2D structures. The model implies that the conductivity is dominated by the upper Hubbard band (D-band). Experimental studies of hopping magnetoresistance for Si δ-doped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure give additional evidences for the model.
