Spin and valley polarization dependence of resistivity in two dimensions

We demonstrate that spin polarization and valley polarization have quantitatively similar effects on the resistivity of a two-dimensional electron gas in a silicon-on-insulator quantum well. In so doing, we also examine the dependence on disorder, leading to a coarse but global phenomenology of how the resistivity depends on its key parameters: spin and valley polarization, density, disorder, and temperature.
