Abstract
We study two-dimensional interacting electrons in a weak perpendicular magnetic field with the filling factor and in the presence of a quenched disorder. In the framework of the Hartree-Fock approximation, we obtain the mean-field phase diagram for the partially filled highest Landau level. We find that the charge-density-wave (CDW) state can exist if the Landau level broadening does not exceed the critical value where is the critical temperature of the CDW formation in the clean case. Our analysis of weak crystallization corrections to the mean-field results shows that these corrections are of the order of and therefore can be neglected.
