| Research Abstract |
Our aim is to observe a metal-insulator transition in two-dimensional electrons in zinc oxide by measuring electrical resistance. At ultralow temperature, by applying high magnetic field, we observed an abrupt increase in the electrical resistance, suggesting a metal-insulator transition. However, Hall resistance, which reflects carrier density, remains normal across the resistance increase. Thus, we found that a characteristic state in high-mobility diluted carrier systems is realized, which is called quantum Hall insulator
