A novel transport model for the metal-to-insulator transition in quasi-three-dimensional wide quantum wells

We present a systematic study of the magnetic field induced metal–insulator transition in quasi-three-dimensional wide quantum wells by numerical calculations. Depending on carrier density and carrier mobility we observe both a change from metal to insulator-like temperature dependence as well as a...

Summary:We present a systematic study of the magnetic field induced metal–insulator transition in quasi-three-dimensional wide quantum wells by numerical calculations. Depending on carrier density and carrier mobility we observe both a change from metal to insulator-like temperature dependence as well as a magnetic field dependent transition between both regimes.
