1) The study provides evidence of a pinned quantum Wigner crystal (WC) in a two-dimensional system of holes in GaAs at filling factor ν = 1/3. 2) Below 30 mK, the holes are pinned within a narrow current range with resistance over 1 GΩ, and the resistance suddenly drops by over 3 orders of magnitude just above this threshold, consistent with melting. 3) Heating also destroys the pinning in a non-activated way that does not match disorder models, proving the existence of a pinned WC that undergoes a second-order melting transition with increasing temperature.
