Metallic behavior and related phenomena in two dimensions

E Abrahams, SV Kravchenko, MP Sarachik - Reviews of modern physics, 2001 - APS
For about 20 years, it has been the prevailing view that there can be no metallic state or
metal-insulator transition in two dimensions in zero magnetic field. In the last several years …

Metal–insulator transition in two-dimensional electron systems

SV Kravchenko, MP Sarachik - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2003 - iopscience.iop.org
The interplay between strong Coulomb interactions and randomness has been a long-
standing problem in condensed matter physics. According to the scaling theory of …

Vortices in quantum droplets: Analogies between boson and fermion systems

H Saarikoski, SM Reimann, A Harju, M Manninen - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2010 - APS
The main theme of this review is the many-body physics of vortices in quantum droplets of
bosons or fermions in the limit of small particle numbers. Systems of interest include cold …

Nonzero-temperature transport near quantum critical points

K Damle, S Sachdev - Physical Review B, 1997 - APS
We describe the nature of charge transport at nonzero temperatures (T) above the two-
dimensional (d) superfluid-insulator quantum-critical point. We argue that the transport is …

Evidence of dual Shapiro steps in a Josephson junction array

N Crescini, S Cailleaux, W Guichard, C Naud… - Nature Physics, 2023 - nature.com
The modern primary voltage standard is based on the ac Josephson effect and the ensuing
Shapiro steps, where a microwave tone applied to a Josephson junction yields a constant …

Wigner Crystallization and Metal-Insulator Transition of Two-Dimensional Holes in GaAs at

J Yoon, CC Li, D Shahar, DC Tsui, M Shayegan - Physical review letters, 1999 - APS
We report the transport properties of a low disorder two-dimensional hole system (2DHS) in
the GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure, which has an unprecedentedly high peak mobility of 7× …

Scaling theory of two-dimensional metal-insulator transitions

V Dobrosavljević, E Abrahams, E Miranda… - Physical review …, 1997 - APS
We discuss the recently discovered two-dimensional metal-insulator transition in zero
magnetic field in the light of the scaling theory of localization. We demonstrate that the …

Dualities of fields and strings

J Polchinski - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part B …, 2017 - Elsevier
Duality, the equivalence between seemingly distinct quantum systems, is a curious property
that has been known for at least three quarters of a century. In the past two decades it has …

Transport through quantum melts

E Shimshoni, A Auerbach, A Kapitulnik - Physical review letters, 1998 - APS
We discuss superconductor to insulator and quantum Hall transitions which are of first order
in the clean limit. Disorder creates a nearly percolating network of the minority phase …

Holographic quantum critical transport without self-duality

RC Myers, S Sachdev, A Singh - … Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2011 - APS
We describe general features of frequency-dependent charge transport near strongly
interacting quantum critical points in 2+ 1 dimensions. The simplest description using the …
