SUMMARY:Approaching an (unknown) phase transition in 2D
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Sergey Kravchenko\, Northeastern University\nHosted b
	y: Raj Mohanty\n\nPart of the Biophysics/Condensed Matter Seminar Series.\n
	\nAbstract:\nThe spin susceptibility of strongly correlated electrons in a 
	\nlow-disorder 2D electron system exhibits a sharp increase tending to a \n
	divergence at a finite electron density.  Surprisingly\, this behavior is \
	ndue to the divergence of the effective mass rather than that of the \ng-fa
	ctor.  Our results provide clear evidence for an interaction-induced \nphas
	e transition to a new phase that may be a precursor phase or a \ndirect tra
	nsition to the long sought-after Wigner solid.
