Critical gate distance for Wigner crystallization in the two-dimensional electron gas

Agnes Valenti, Vladimir Calvera, Yubo Yang +4

We report on the properties of the two-dimensional electron gas in a dual-gate geometry, using quantum Monte Carlo methods to obtain aspects of the phase diagram as a function of e…
