Abstract

High-purity two-dimensional hole systems of dilute charge concentrations are realized in GaAs field-effect transistors. For fixed charge densities below 4×109 cm^-2, transport measurement reveals a conductivity (σ) kink while sweeping temperature across some characteristic value T_c, where the derivative dσ/dT exhibits a discontinuous step. Moreover, T_c has a piecewise density dependence separated approximately by the critical density of the apparent metal-to-insulator transition.
