Abstract

Wigner crystallization of free electrons at room temperature has been explored theoretically for a new class of metallic ultrathin (transdimensional) materials whose properties can be controlled by their thickness. Our calculations of the melting surface, critical electron density and temperature explain consistently the experimental data reported previously. We show that by reducing the material thickness one can Wigner-crystallize free electrons at room temperature to get them pinned onto a two-dimensional triangular lattice of a supersolid inside of the crystalline material. Such a solid melts and freezes reversibly with increase and decrease of electron doping or temperature, whereby its resistivity behaves opposite to the free electron gas model predictions.
