Brief description of book
This book focuses on the electronic transport properties in the metallic phase and the insulating phase in two-dimensional systems, including the joint effects of disorder and interactions in low density 2D p-GaAs and 2D p-SiGe quantum wells and having a metal insulator transition.
Indeed, this book:
• Introduces and explains electronic transport mechanisms near the metal insulator transition in two-dimensional electronic systems.
• Provides an overview of the rapidly developing field of disordered and interacting 2D holes systems.
• Explains numerous experimental results in the context of electronic transport theories.

This book focuses on the electronic transport properties in the metallic phase and the insulating phase in two-dimensional systems, including the joint effects of disorder and interactions in low density 2D p-GaAs and 2D p-SiGe quantum wells and having a metal insulator transition.
Comparison of these two systems, which have common characteristics as well as differences, is a good way to test the universality of the metal-insulator transition, as well as the system-related characteristics. Due to the high effective mass of the holes and the low carrier density, these systems are very good candidates for studying the behaviour of a two-dimensional carrier gas in strong interactions and in the presence of disorder.
This book deals with the phenomena that can play a role in the transition and that can significantly modify the transport mechanism, namely: interactions, disorder, spin, hopping mechanisms, percolation phenomenon. Based on the author’s own theoretical investigations, as well as salient theoretical and experimental studies conducted by others, the book is well suited for both students and researchers in the field of condensed matter physics. Indeed, this book:
• Introduces and explains electronic transport mechanisms near the metal insulator transition in two-dimensional electronic systems.
• Provides an overview of the rapidly developing field of disordered and interacting 2D holes systems.
• Explains numerous experimental results in the context of electronic transport theories.
