7. The possibility exists that the insulating state of 2D electrons in heterojunctions may be some sort of (possibly modified) Wigner crystal state; see, e.g., S. Chakravarty et al., Philos. Mag. B 79, 859 (1999); E. Abrahams et al., Rev. Mod. Phys. 73, 251 (2001). In the quantum hall community, there has been discussion of Wigner crystal states interlaced between Laughlin-liquid states as a function of filling fraction, and related possibilities; see, e.g., R. Narevich et al., Phys. Rev. B 64, 245326 (2001); K. Yang, F.D.M. Haldane, and E.H. Rezayi, ibid. 64, 081301 (2001), and references therein. Also, for an insulating 2D electron system under a large magnetic field, attempts have been made to explain the measured ac response in terms of an assumed pinned Wigner crystal state, see R. Chitra et al., ibid. 65, 035312 (2002), and references therein.
