We reconcile the possible presence of a quantum critical point in metal insulator transition phenomena in two-dimensional electron systems with observed electronic properties in the low resistivity region which are those of a weakly disordered Fermi liquid. The central issue of whether the ground state of an interacting 2D electron system in the presence of weak potential scattering from disorder is a metal or an insulator remains unresolved. Additional new effects which may become important at extremely low electron densities are briefly mentioned.

Abstract

We reconcile the possible presence of a quantum critical point in metal insulator transition phenomena in two-dimensional electron systems with observed electronic properties in the low resistivity region which are those of a weakly disordered Fermi liquid. The central issue of whether the ground state of an interacting 2D electron system in the presence of weak potential scattering from disorder is a metal or an insulator remains unresolved. Additional new effects which may become important at extremely low electron densities are briefly mentioned.
