Incipient p-wave Superconductivity in a Si-MOSFET

TL;DR

This paper proposes that the insulator-metal transition observed in Si MOSFETs may actually be a transition to a p-wave superconducting state at zero temperature, challenging previous interpretations.

Contribution

It introduces the idea that the insulator-metal transition in Si MOSFETs is a transition to p-wave superconductivity, providing a new perspective on the phenomenon.

Findings

Insulator-metal transition may be a transition to p-wave superconductivity.

Supports the transition as a zero-temperature phenomenon.

Challenges previous insulator-metal transition interpretations.

Abstract

We suggest here that the recently-reported ``insulator-metal transition'' in Si MOSFET's is consistent instead with a transition from an insulator to a T=0 p-wave superconducting state.
