Why Si MOSFETs?
• large m*= 0.19 m0
• two valleys
• low average dielectric constant =7.7
As a result, at low electron densities, Coulomb energy strongly exceeds Fermi energy: EC >> EF
rs = EC / EF >10 can easily be reached in clean samples

SUMMARY:
Strong interactions in clean two-dimensional systems lead to strong increase and possible divergence of the spin susceptibility: the behavior characteristic of a phase transition
Disorder-interactions flow diagram of the metal-insulator transition clearly reveals a quantum critical point: i.e., there exists a metallic state and a metal-insulator transition in 2D, contrary to the 20-years old paradigm!
