The quantum crystal of electrons, predicted more than eighty years ago by Eugene Wigner, is still one of the most elusive states of matter. Here, we present experiments that observe the one-dimensional Wigner crystal directly, by imaging…
We give a basic explanation for the oscillating properties of some physical quantities of a two-electron quantum dot in the presence of a static magnetic field. This behaviour was discussed in a previous work of ours [AM Maniero, {\it et…
The quantum Hall effect in a 2D electron system expresses a topological invariant, leading to a quantized conductivity. The thermal Hall and thermoelectric Nernst conductances in two dimensions are also reported to be quantized in specific…
The high-throughput calculation predicts that the Fe-based cubic ferromagnet Fe$_3$Si may exhibit a large anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). Here, we report our experimental observation of the large Nernst coefficient $S_{yx}\sim$2 $\mu$V/K and…
Spin orbit torque has been intensively investigated because of its high energy efficiency in manipulating a magnetization. Although various methods for measuring the spin orbit torque have been developed so far, the measurement results…

We present a detailed study of the Nernst effect N$_{zx}$ in (TMTSF)$_2$PF$_6$ as a function of temperature, magnetic field magnitude and direction and pressure. As previously reported there is a large resonant-like structure as the…
We report the observation of Coulomb drag between a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas in graphene and a one-dimensional (1D) wire composed of a carbon nanotube. We find that drag occurs when the bulk of graphene is conducting, but is…
In this paper we systematically analyze the electronic structures of polar and nonpolar wurtzite-InN/GaN quantum dots and their modification due to the quantum-confined Stark effect caused by intrinsic fields. This is achieved by combining…
We report on a study of the Nernst effect in graphite extended up to 45 T. The Nernst response sharply peaks each time a Landau tube is squeezed inside the thermally fuzzy Fermi surface and presents a temperature-independent fixed point…
A simple model describing the Nernst-Ettingshausen effect (NEE) in two-component electronic liquids is formulated. The examples considered include graphite, where the normal and Dirac fermions coexist, superconductor in fluctuating regime,…
Analogous to the Hall effect, the Nernst effect is the generation of a transverse voltage due to a temperature gradient in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. The Nernst effect has promise for thermoelectric applications and as…
The strange-metal state is a crucial problem in condensed matter physics highlighted by its ubiquity in almost all major correlated systems[1-7]. Its understanding could provide important insight into high-Tc superconductivity[2] and…
We measured the intrinsic drag coefficient of a single charged particle by optically trapping the particle and applying an alternating electric field, and found it to be markedly different from that of the Stokes drag.
The dimensionality of a system profoundly influences its physical behaviour, leading to the emergence of different states of matter in many-body quantum systems. In lower dimensions, fluctuations increase and lead to the suppression of…
The Nernst effect is known to be a sensitive probe of the scattering mechanisms. Large Nernst effects, a decade ago a topic mainly in vortex dynamics in superconductors, have recently attracted interest in correlated systems like cuprate…
