Metal-Insulator Transition in a Silicon Inversion Layer V. Pudalov at al., 2001
Motivation • Theory: interaction and disorder enhanced susceptibility • A. Finkelstein (1983), Castellani at al.,(1984) • Temperature-dependent correction to Pauli Susceptibility due to electron-electron interaction (A. Finkelstein, A. Shekhter, 2006) A. Chubukov, D. Maslov,2009
Shubnikov - de Haas measurements of the Spin Polarization 2 6 7 4 rs F. Fang and P. Stiles, (1968), T. Okamoto at al., (1999) S. Vitkalov at al. (2000), V. Pudalov at.al., (2001) Advantages Disadvantages • Straightforward separation between • orbital (diamagnetic) and spin contributions • Requires low temperatures and finite • magnetic fields (B B>kBT) • Problematic in the vicinity of the MIT
Analysis of the in-plane magnetoresistance A. Shashkin et al. PLR, 2001, S. Vitkalov et al. PRL 2001 • Advantages: • Does not require high magnetic field • Critical density is accessible • Disadvantages: • Heavily interpretation-dependent: • a) Saturation of the in-plane magnetoresistance • full polarization • incorrect atlow B (e.g E. Tutuc at al.) • b) The saturation field may be recovered on the basis of the low field magnetoresistance

Problem O. Prus, Y. Yaish, M. Reznikov, U. Sivan, and V. Pudalov, PRB 2003: Assumption: at large density the susceptibility is the renormalized Pauli one This assumption happened to be wrong!

Conclusions • Low-field susceptibility is many times the Pauli one • Susceptibility is strongly temperature dependent • even at high densities (most surprising) • Low temperature susceptibility is strongly nonlinear • The field scale for the nonlinearity is Bc¼ kBT/6B
