Abstract
The magnetic-field–induced Wigner condensation was studied as a function of the electron temperature. Evaluating energy relaxation time and transport measurements we have determined the heat capacity of electrons in n-Te. As far as we know, this procedure yields the first experimental data of the heat capacity of a condensed, low-density electron system (n≊ electrons/). The data revealed a transition of the electron gas to a liquidlike state and eventually to a solidlike state with decreasing temperature.
