Abstract: Experimental results on metal–insulator transitions and the anomalous properties of strongly interacting two-dimensional electron systems are reviewed and critically analyzed. Special attention is given to recent results on strongly enhanced spin susceptibility and effective mass in low-disordered silicon MOSFETs.
