17. In a narrow region at low electron densities, possible formation of a metastable metallic glass phase [V. Dobrosavljević et al, Phys. Rev. Lett.10.1103/PhysRevLett.90.016402 90, 016402 (2003)] was reported by

20. An evaluation of the effective mass at low electron densities was made by V.M. Pudalov et al, [Phys. Rev. Lett.10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.196404 88, 196404 (2002)] in the high-temperature limit of the SdH oscillations ((Formula presented)) because of electron overheating in their experiment.

22. Our results are also consistent with the data for spin and cyclotron gaps obtained by magnetocapacitance spectroscopy; see V.S. Khrapai, A.A. Shashkin, and V.T. Dolgopolov, cond-mat/0301361.

24. The case for the 2D carrier system in GaAs is opposite to that for Si, because the orbital effects in GaAs give rise to an enhancement of the effective mass in parallel magnetic fields; see, e.g., E. Tutuc et al, Phys. Rev. B10.1103/PhysRevB.67.241309 67, 241309 (2003).
