A Two-Dimensional Electron Liquid Solidifies in a Magnetic Field

Physicists from the Georgia Institute of
Technology have developed a theory that describes, in a unified manner, the
coexistence of liquid and pinned solid phases of electrons in two dimensions
under the influence of a magnetic field. The theory also describes the
transition between these phases as the field is varied.
