We have studied the zero magnetic field resistivity of unique high- mobility two-dimensional electron system in silicon. At very low density (but higher than some sample-dependent critical value, $n_{cr}\sim 10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$), CONVENTIONAL WEAK LOCALIZATION IS OVERPOWERED BY A SHARP DROP OF RESISTIVITY AN ORDER MAGNITUDE with decreasing temperature below 1--2 K. No further evidence for localization is seen down to at least 20 mK. For $n_s<N_{cr}$, sample insulating. The empirically found...
We have studied the temperature dependence of resistivity, \ensuremath{\rho}, for a two-dimensional electron system in silicon at low densities ${\mathit{n}}_{\mathit{s}}$\ensuremath{\sim}${10}^{11}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}2}$, near metal-insulator transition. The resistivity was empirically found to scale with single parameter ${\mathit{T}}_{0}$, which approaches zero some critical density ${\mathit{n}}_{\mathit{c}}$ and increases as power...
We report on fabrication and characterization of the organic field effect transistors (OFETs) surface single crystals rubrene. The parylene polymer film has been used as gate insulator. At room temperature, these OFETs exhibit p-type conductivity with mobility up to 1 cm^2/Vs on/off ratio ~ 10^4. temperature dependence is discussed.
Pressure-stabilized hydrides are a new rapidly growing class of high-temperature superconductors which is believed to be described within the conventional phonon-mediated mechanism coupling. Here we report synthesis yttrium hexahydride Im3m-YH$_6$ that demonstrates superconducting transition with T$_c$ = 224 K at 166 GPa, much lower than theoretically predicted (>270 K). The measured upper critical magnetic field B$_c$$_2$(0) YH$_6$ was found 116-158 T, 2-2.5 times larger calculated value. A...

The devices compare favorably OFETs not only this respect: for is nearly independent gate voltage field effect onset very sharp. Subthreshold slope as small S = 0.85 V/decade has been a insulator capacitance Ci 2 +- 0.2 nF/cm2. This corresponds to intrinsic subthreshold Si SCi at...
The anomalous conducting phase that has been shown to exist in zero field dilute two-dimensional electron systems silicon MOSFETs is driven into a strongly insulating state by magnetic of about 20 kOe applied parallel the plane. data suggest limit T -> 0 suppressed an arbitrarily weak field. We call attention striking similarities field-induced superconductor-insulator transitions.
We studied the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations in high-mobility Si-MOS samples over a wide range of carrier densities n approximately (1-50)x10(11) cm(-2), which includes vicinity apparent metal-insulator transition two dimensions (2D MIT). Using novel technique measuring SdH superimposed and independently controlled parallel perpendicular magnetic fields, we determined spin susceptibility chi(*), effective mass m(*), g(*) factor for mobile electrons. These quantities increase gradually...
The recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in single-layer iron selenide has generated significant experimental interest for optimizing the superconducting properties iron-based superconductors through lattice modification. For simulating similar effect by changing chemical composition due to S doping, we investigate high-quality single crystals ${\mathrm{FeSe}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{S}}_{x}$ ($x=0$, 0.04, 0.09, and 0.11) using magnetization, resistivity, London...

We study the behavior of extended states a two-dimensional electron system in silicon magnetic field, B. Our results show that states, corresponding to centers different Landau levels, merge with lowest state as B --> 0. Using our data, we construct an experimental-based ``disorder vs filling factor'' phase diagram for integer quantum Hall effect (QHE). Generalizing this case fractional QHE, it is consistent recently observed direct transitions between insulator and FQHE at 2/5, 2/7, 2/9.
A novel method invented to measure the minute thermodynamic spin magnetization of dilute two dimensional fermions is applied electrons in a silicon inversion layer. Interplay between ferromagnetic interaction and disorder enhances low temperature susceptibility up 7.5 folds compared with Pauli non-interacting electrons. The peaks vicinity density where transition strong localization takes place. At same density, becomes extremely close that free spins (Curie susceptibility), indicating an...
Charged plasma and Fermi liquid are two distinct states of electronic matter intrinsic to dilute two-dimensional electron systems at elevated low temperatures, respectively. Probing their thermodynamics represents challenge because lack an adequate technique. Here, we report a thermodynamic method measure the entropy per in gated structures. Our technique appears be three orders magnitude superior sensitivity a.c. calorimetry, allowing measurements with only 10(8) electrons. This enables us...
Discovery of superconductivity at megabar (MB) pressures in hydrogen sulfide H3S, then metal polyhydrides, starting with binary, LaH10, etc., and ending ternary ones, including (La, Y)H10, revolutionized the field condensed matter physics. These discoveries strengthen hopes for solution century-old problem creating materials that are superconducting room temperature. In experiments performed over past 5 years MB pressures, addition to synthesis hydrides itself, their physical properties were...
It is shown experimentally that the interaction between electrons strongly influences chemical potential of two-dimensional (2D) electron gas. At sufficiently low temperatures and in high magnetic fields, regions filling factor appear where (i) \ensuremath{\mu} diminishes with increasing carrier density, i.e., thermodynamic density states negative; (ii) derivative \ensuremath{\partial}\ensuremath{\mu}/\ensuremath{\partial}H (H field) considerably higher than maximum value for a...
