Abstract
This paper gives a short review of recent experimental work on weak localization in silicon inversion layers. It is shown that both this effect and effects arising from the electron-electron interaction are present. These mechanisms can be distinguished by their response to a magnetic field, which enables a confirmation of the principal theoretical predictions. The localization is cut off by a magnetic field which leads to the return of metallic conduction, and, it is suggested, a minimum metallic conductance.
