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 …

Nonzero-temperature transport near quantum critical points
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
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 …

Scaling theory of two-dimensional metal-insulator transitions
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
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 …
