Abstract

This paper describes recent developments in experimental techniques for thermodynamic measurements. Particularly, we focus on the derivatives of the chemical potential with respect to magnetic field and temperature. The former enables to determine the spin magnetization per electron and the latter the entropy per electron. We briefly describe recent results obtained with these techniques and their impact on the current understanding of the still challenging problem of the ground state(s) of strongly correlated two-dimensional electron systems.
