Azimuthal anisotropies of high-$p_T$ particles produced in heavy-ion collisions are understood as an effect of a geometrical selection bias. Particles oriented in the direction in which the QCD medium formed in these collisions is shorter,…
The thermal conductivity of boron arsenide (BAs) is believed to be influenced by phonon scattering selection rules due to its special phonon dispersion. Compression of BAs leads to significant changes in phonon dispersion, which allows for…
Phase crystals are a class of nonuniform superconducting ground states characterized by spontaneous phase gradients of the superconducting order parameter. These phase gradients nonlocally drive periodic currents and magnetic fields, thus…

Ion conduction in noncrystals (glasses, polymers, etc) has a number of properties in common. In fact, from a purely phenomenological point of view, these properties are even more widely observed: ion conduction behaves much like electronic…
We establish theoretically that in nonmagnetic semiconducting bilayer or multilayer thin film systems rolled up into compact quasi-one-dimensional nanoarchitectures, the ballistic magnetoresistance is very anisotropic: conductances depend…
While the tunneling conductance between two spherical-like conducting particles depends on the relative inter-particle distance, the wave function overlap between states of two rod-like particles, and so the tunneling conductance, depends…
We investigate the c-axis optical conductivity and d.c. resistivity of cuprate superconductors in the normal state. Assuming that the interlayer hopping is incoherent we express the conductivity with planar spectral functions obtained (i)…
The pre-existing literature on phenomena at the mesoscopic scale is concerned among other things with phase coherent transport. Phase coherent transport dominates at very low temperatures. With increase in temperature, as the system size…
We reveal a mechanism that may explain the non-metallic out-of-plane resistivity in layered metals. By carefully examining how the Drude-Boltzmann expression for the $c$-axis conductivity emerges out of the Kubo formula, we find, besides…

We report that intrinsic transport and magnetic properties, and their anisotropy from high quality single crystal $CaFe_2As_2$. The resistivity anisotropy ($\rho_c/\rho_{ab}$) is $\sim 50 $, and less than 150 of $BaFe_2As_2$, which arises…
