Structure-property relationships in ordered materials have long been a core principle in materials design. However, the intentional introduction of disorder into materials provides structural flexibility and thus access to material…
We study the transport properties of a quasi-two-dimensional diffusive normal metal film attached to a superconductor. We demonstrate that the properties of such films can essentially differ from those of quasi-one-dimensional systems: in…

A disordered array of metal grains with large and random intergrain conductances is studied within the one-loop accuracy renormalization group approach. While at low level of disorder the dependence of conductivity on log T is nonuniversal…

Since the prediction of spin-gapless semiconducting behaviour in the Heusler compound Mn$_2$CoAl, evidence of spin-gapless behaviour in thin films has typically been inferred from magnetotransport measurements. The spin gapless state is…
Metals hosting strong electronic interactions, including high-temperature superconductors, behave in ways that do not conform to normal Fermi liquid theory. To pinpoint the microscopic origin of this strange metal behavior, here we…
Transition-metal perovskite oxides exhibit a wide range of extraordinary but imperfectly understood phenomena. Charge, spin, orbital, and lattice degrees of freedom all undergo order-disorder transitions in regimes not far from where the…
We shall discuss magnetization and transport measurements in materials exhibiting a broad first-order transition. The phase transitions would be caused by varying magnetic field as well as by varying temperature, and we concentrate on…
We study the current through molecular films as a function of orientation of the molecules in the film with respect to electrodes. It may change by more than an order of magnitude, depending on the angle between the axis of the molecules…

Recent experiments show that charge-density-wave correlations are prevalent in underdoped cuprate superconductors. The correlations are short ranged at weak magnetic fields but their intensity and spatial extent increase rapidly at low…
