As the temperature decreases, a transition from insulating to metal-like transport behavior is observed, which persists even when the resistivity of the system greatly exceeds the quantum of resistivity h/e(2). The results have been achieved by measuring transport on a mesoscopic length scale while systematically varying the strength of disorder. date: 2008-01-11 publisher: AMER PHYSICAL SOC official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.016805 vfaculties: VENG oa_status: green language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Article verified: verified_batch elements_source: Web of Science elements_id: 319821 doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.100.016805 language_elements: EN lyricists_name: Pepper, Michael lyricists_id: MPEPP38 full_text_status: public publication: PHYS REV LETT volume: 100 number: 1 article_number: 016805 issn: 0031-9007 citation: Baenninger, M; Ghosh, A; Pepper, M; Beere, HE; Farrer, I; Ritchie, DA; (2008) Low-temperature collapse of electron localization in two dimensions.
