摘要: The authors present results on the magnetic-field-induced metal-insulator transition in direct-gap III-V semiconductors GaAs and InSb. experiments were carried out at temperatures (T) as low 40 mK magnetic fields of up to 9T. They find that transition, conductivity, sigma , can be expressed form = zeta T13/, where is a constant depending density states, giving good quantitative agreement with recent theories interaction-driven due Finkel'shtein (1983), extended by Altshuler Aronov (1983) Castellani coworkers (1984).
