The electrical resistance of detonation nano-diamond powders was measured from liquid nitrogen temperature to room temperature and in relative humidity environments from around 10% to 100%. After sample exposures of several hours at 100%…
We report on the discovery of a large, room temperature magnetoresistance (MR) effect in polyfluorene sandwich devices in weak magnetic fields. We characterize this effect and discuss its dependence on voltage, temperature, film thickness,…
Caloric responses (temperature changes) can be induced in solid-state materials by applying external stimuli such as stress, pressure, and electric and magnetic fields. The magnetic-field-stimulated response is called the magnetocaloric…
We use first-principles electronic structure methods to calculate the electronic thermoelectric properties (i.e. due to electronic transport only) of single-crystalline bulk $n$-type silicon-germanium alloys vs Ge composition, temperature,…
Crystalline solids with extreme insulation often exhibit a plateau or even an upward-sloping tail in thermal conductivity above room temperature. Herein, we synthesized a crystalline material AgTl$_2$I$_3$ with an exceptionally low thermal…
Developing novel high-temperature van der Waals ferromagnetic semiconductor materials and investigating their interface coupling effects with two-dimensional topological semimetals are pivotal for advancing next-generation spintronic and…
In two-dimensional crystals that lack symmetry under reflections on the horizontal plane of the lattice (non-$\sigma_{\rm h}$-symmetric), electrons can couple to flexural modes (ZA phonons) at first order. We show that in materials of this…
Using the self-flux technique we grew superconducting $(K_{1-z}Na_z)_{x}Fe_{2-y}Se_2$ (z = 0.3) single crystals. The EDX mapping revealed the uniform elements distribution on the crystal surface while the XRD measurements indicate that the…
Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) are known to exhibit large piezoresistance (PZR) effect, making it suitable for various sensing applications. Here, we report the results of a PZR investigation on randomly distributed and interconnected vertical…
A colossal magnetoresistance ($\sim 100\times10^3\%$) and an extremely large magnetoresistance ($\sim 1\times10^6\%$) have been previously explored in manganite perovskites and Dirac materials, respectively. However, the requirement of an…
Resistivity saturation is found on both superconducting and insulating sides of an "avoided" magnetic-field-tuned superconductor-to-insulator transition (H-SIT) in a two-dimensional In/InO$_x$ composite, where the anomalous metallic…
In this work we report new silicon and germanium tubular nanostructures with no corresponding stable carbon analogues. The electronic and mechanical properties of these new tubes were investigated through ab initio methods. Our results show…
In this work, we have studied the effects from increasing the strength of the applied electric field on the charge transport of hydrogenated graphitic fibers. Resistivity measurements were carried out for direct currents in the nA - mA…
The resistivity behavior of inhomogeneous superconductors with random $\pi$ junctions, as in high-$T_c$ materials with d-wave symmetry, is studied by numerical simulation of a three-dimensional XY spin glass model. Above a concentration…
We report the observation of TEMPERATURE-INDUCED transitions between insulator, metal, and quantum-Hall behaviors for transport coefficients in the very dilute high mobility two-dimensional electron system in silicon. We consider the…
The cooling of two-dimensional electrons in silicon-metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors is studied experimentally. Cooling to the lattice is found to be more effective than expected from the bulk electron-phonon coupling in…
We report on high-pressure $p \leq 45$ GPa resistivity measurements on the perovskite-related mixed-valent compound CsAuBr$_3$. The compounds high-pressure resistivity can be classified into three regions: For low pressures ($p < 10$ GPa)…
Giant magnetostriction in insulating magnetic materials is highly required for applications but is rarely observed. Here we show that giant magnetostriction (> 1500 ppm) can be achieved in an insulating transition metal oxide CaBaCo4O7…
It is well known that copper-based perovskite oxides rightly enjoy consensus as high-temperature superconductors on the basis of two signatures: Meissner effect and zero resistance. In contrast, I provide over twenty signatures for room…
The Casimir effect between metal surfaces has now been well-verified at the few-percent level experimentally. However, the temperature dependence has never been observed in the laboratory, since all experiments are conducted at room…
