The recent observation of a two-dimensional (2D) metal–insulator transition in semiconductor devices and the strong influence of a magnetic field on the metallic phase has attracted a great deal of interest. This gives rise to the important theoretical question about the nature and the magnetic order of insulating and conducting phases. In the present paper we calculate (both analytically and numerically) the exchange constant for a two-dimensional Wigner liquid— the state with destroyed long-range order but preserved short-range order. It is demonstrated that there is an antiferromagnetic spin–spin interaction between nearest electrons. We also discuss a possible pairing of the electrons in a 2D Wigner crystal by the spin-Peierls mechanism.

The two-dimensional(2D) materials are highly promising candidates to realise elegant and e cient transistor. In the present letter, we conjecture a novel co-planar metal-insulator-semiconductor(MIS) device(capacitor) completely based on lateral 2D materials architecture and perform numerical study of the capacitor with a particular emphasis on its di erences with the conventional 3D MIS electrostatics. The space-charge density features a long charge-tail extending into the bulk of the semiconductor as opposed to the rapid decay in 3D capacitor. Equivalently, total space-charge and semiconductor capacitance densities are atleast an order of magnitude more in 2D semiconductor. In contrast to the bulk capacitor, expansion of maximum depletion width in 2D semiconductor is observed with increasing doping concentration due to lower electrostatic screening. The heuristic approach of performance analysis(2D vs 3D) for digital-logic transistor suggest higher ON-OFF current ratio in the long-channel limit even without third dimension and considerable room to maximise the performance of short-channel transistor. The present results could potentially trigger the exploration of new family of co-planar at transistors that could play a signi significant role in the future low-power and/or high performance electronics.<br>

AbstractMany experiments investigating magnetic-field tuned superconductor-insulator transition (H-SIT) often exhibit low-temperature resistance saturation, which is interpreted as an anomalous metallic phase emerging from a ‘failed superconductor’, thus challenging conventional theory. Here we study a random granular array of indium islands grown on a gateable layer of indium-oxide. By tuning the intergrain couplings, we reveal a wide range of magnetic fields where resistance saturation is observed, under conditions of careful electromagnetic filtering and within a wide range of linear response. Exposure to external broadband noise or microwave radiation is shown to strengthen the tendency of superconductivity, where at low field a global superconducting phase is restored. Increasing magnetic field unveils an ‘avoided H-SIT’ that exhibits granularity-induced logarithmic divergence of the resistance/conductance above/below that transition, pointing to possible vestiges of the original emergent duality observed in a true H-SIT. We conclude that anomalous metallic phase is intimately associated with inherent inhomogeneities, exhibiting robust behavior at attainable temperatures for strongly granular two-dimensional systems.

A tight-binding model is formulated for the calculation of the electronic structure of a double strand of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The theory is applied to DNA with a particular structure such as the ladder and decorated ladder structures. It is found that there is a novel type of metal–insulator transitions due to the hopping anisotropy of the system. A metal-semimetal-semiconductor transition is found in the former and an effective semiconductor-metal transition at finite temperature in the latter, as the effect of base paring between two strands of DNA is increased. The latter mechanism may be responsible for explaining the Meade and Kayyem's recent observation.
