We report the observation of a reentrant insulator-metal-insulator transition at $B\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}0$ in a two-dimensional (2D) hole gas in GaAs at temperatures down to 30 mK. At the lowest carrier densities the holes are strongly localized. As the carrier density is increased a metallic phase forms, with a clear transition at …
