34. The decrease of the electron density can lead to the Fermi level turning out below the classical mobility edge and the system becoming macroscopically inhomogeneous. This transition reveals itself in the C- Vg characteristics, where C is the gate to 2D gas capacitance, as the drastic drop of the capacitance at corresponding Vg value [see, e.g., Michael M. Fogler, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.69.121409 69, 121409 (R) (2004)]. The study of the C- Vg characteristics for our samples shows that this is not the case. The transition to inhomogeneous state occurs when the conductivity is less than (10-4 - 10-3) G0. These results will be published elsewhere.
