Abstract

A magnetic field applied parallel to the two-dimensional hole system in the GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure, which is metallic in the absence of an external magnetic field, can drive the system into insulating at a finite field through a well defined transition. The value of resistivity at the transition is found to depend strongly on density.
