Metal-insulator transition and low-density phases in a strongly-interacting two-dimensional electron system

Abstract

We review recent experimental results on the metal-insulator transition and low-density phases in strongly-interacting, low-disordered Si-based two-dimensional electron systems. Special attention is given to the metallic state in ultra-clean SiGe quantum wells and to the evidence for a flat band at the Fermi level and a quantum electron solid.
