Abstract
We have measured the resistance fluctuations in 2D hole gases in GaAs quantum wells around the 2D "metal"-insulator transition (MIT) at temperatures between 35 and 700 mK. The magnitude of the noise spectrum has a l/ $^\alpha ( \alpha = 1)$ frequency dependence and increases strongly as the density is lowered. There is a qualitative change in the temperature dependence at a density pg, higher than the 2D MIT critical density pc. Moreover, the noise magnitude shows a scaling behaviour as a function of the resistance, which can be attributed to a percolation transition, as suggested by theories which explain the resistivity vs. temperature dependence near the 2D MIT.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
