The layered delafossite metal PdCrO$_2$ is a natural heterostructure of highly conductive Pd layers Kondo coupled to localized spins in the adjacent Mott insulating CrO$_2$ layers. At high temperatures $T$ it has a $T$-linear resistivity…
A model of magnetic interaction of CrO$_2$ and Pd hexagonal layers in PdCrO$_2$ is proposed. Since Cr-O-Pd bridges do not provide an interlayer magnetic coupling in case of a 120$^0$ magnetic ordering, a direct exchange interaction between…
A nearly free electron metal and a Mott insulating state can be thought of as opposite ends of possibilities for the motion of electrons in a solid. In the magnetic oxide metal PdCrO$_{2}$, these two coexist as alternating layers. Using…
Electron-electron scattering usually dominates the transport in strongly correlated materials. It typically leads to pronounced resistivity maxima in the incoherent regime around the coherence temperature $T^{*}$, reflecting the tendency of…
We report an unconventional temperature dependence of the resistivity in several strongly correlated systems approaching a localized to itinerant electronic transition from the itinerant electron side. The observed resistivity, proportioanl…
A variety of "strange metals" exhibit resistivity that decreases linearly with temperature as $T\rightarrow 0$, in contrast with conventional metals where resistivity decreases as $T^2$. This $T$-linear resistivity has been attributed to…
There has been a long-standing debate on the coexistence between itinerant electrons and localized spins in the PdCrO$_2$ delafossite. By means of the charge self-consistent combination of density functional theory and dynamical mean-field…
The longitudinal resistivity of two dimensional (2D) electrons placed in strong magnetic field is significantly reduced by applied electric field, an effect which is studied in a broad range of magnetic fields and temperatures in GaAs…
We present here a simple qualitative model that interpolates between the high and low temperature properties of quasi-1D conductors. At high temperatures we argue that transport is governed by inelastic scattering whereas at low…
We describe and discuss the low-temperature resistivity (and the temperature-dependent inelastic scattering rate) of several different doped 2D semiconductor systems from the perspective of the Planckian hypothesis asserting that…
We map out the complete transport phase diagram of the ferromagnetic Heisenberg-Kondo lattice model in two dimensions. The model involves tight-binding electrons with hopping $t$, coupled to classical spins with coupling $J'$, while the…
Although they were first synthesized in chemistry laboratories nearly fifty years ago, the physical properties of the metals PdCoO2, PtCoO2 and PdCrO2 have only more recently been studied in detail. The delafossite structure contains…
We consider a short-range deformation potential scattering model of electron-acoustic phonon interaction to calculate the resistivity of an ideal metal as a function of temperature (T) and electron density (n). We consider both 3D metals…
The room temperature thermal diffusivity of high T$_c$ materials is dominated by phonons. This allows the scattering of phonons by electrons to be discerned. We argue that the measured strength of this scattering suggests a converse…
Electron transport is conventionally determined by the momentum-relaxing scattering of electrons by the host solid and its excitations. The electrical resistance is set by geometrical factors and the resistivity, which is a microscopic…

We propose the two-band s-d model to describe theoretically a diffuse regime of the spin-dependent electron transport in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ's) of the form F/O/F where F's are 3d transition metal ferromagnetic layers and O is the…
Phonon scattering by electrons, or "phonon-electron scattering", has been recognized as a significant scattering channel for phonons in materials with high electron concentration, such as thermoelectrics and nanoelectronics, even at room…
We investigate resonant acoustic phonon scattering in the magneto-resistivity of an ultra-high mobility two-dimensional electron gas system subject to DC current in the temperature range 10 mK to 3.9 K. For a DC current density of $\sim$1.1…
We report a neutron scattering study of the metallic triangular lattice antiferromagnet PdCrO$_2$. Powder neutron diffraction measurements confirm that the crystalline space group symmetry remains $R\bar{3}m$ below $T_N$. This implies that…
