The anisotropic thermoelectric transport properties of bulk silicon strained in [111]-direction were studied by detailed first-principles calculations focussing on a possible enhancement of the power factor. Electron as well as hole doping…
Large magnetoresistive materials are of immense interest for a number of spintronic applications by developing high density magnetic memory devices, magnetic sensors and magnetic switches. Colossal magnetoresistance, for which resistivity…
Superconductivity with transition temperature $T_c=1.7$ K has been reported in bilayer graphene [1,2]. The main factors, which may shed light on the mechanism of the formation of this superconductivity, are the following. Superconductivity…
We review the theoretical model underpinning the recently reported room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductivity along line defects on the surface of highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite. The main ingredients for this 1D…
The structural phase behaviors of pure zirconium metal under compressions up to $160$ GPa at room temperature are investigated from the perspective of ensemble theory where the partition function is solved by our recently proposed method…
A new experimental study by Snider et al. [Nature 586, 373-377 (2020)] reported behavior in a high-pressure carbon-sulfur-hydrogen system that has been interpreted by the authors as superconductivity at room temperature. The sudden drop of…
Superconducting properties of the polycrystalline Zr2Ru3Si4 were investigated by the electrical resistivity, magnetization and specific heat. By these measurements, bulk superconductivity with transition temperature Tc = 5.5 K was…
Several hitherto unexplained features of thermal conductivity in group IV materials, such as the change in the slope as a function of sample size for pure vs. alloyed samples and the fast decay in thermal conductivity for low impurity…
Capitani and coworkers [1] reported that infrared optical reflectance measurements provided evidence for a superconducting transition in sulfur hydride [2] under 150 GPa pressure, and that the transition is driven by the electron-phonon…
Electrical, magnetic and galvanomagnetic properties of half-metallic Heusler alloys of Co$_2$YZ (Y = Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, and Z = Al, Si, Ga, Ge, In, Sn, Sb) were studied in the temperature range 4.2--900 K and in magnetic fields of up to…
While cryogenic-temperature subthreshold swing (SS) in crystalline semiconductors has been widely studied, a careful study on the temperature-dependent SS in amorphous oxide semiconductors remains lacking. In this paper, a comprehensive…
Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) have long been recognized as promising candidates for high-temperature superconductivity by intercalation or charge doping, yet experimental progress has stalled with transition temperatures (Tc)…
The quality of the silicon-oxide interface plays a crucial role in fabricating reproducible silicon spin qubits. In this work we characterize interface quality by performing mobility measurements on silicon Hall bars. We find a peak…
We observe an enormous $\textit{spontaneous}$ exchange bias ($\sim$300-600 Oe) - measured in an unmagnetized state following zero-field cooling - in a nanocomposite of BiFeO$_3$ ($\sim$94%)-Bi$_2$Fe$_4$O$_9$ ($\sim$6%) over a temperature…
Extensive Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to study thermal stability of an infinite standalone silicon sheet. We used the Tersoff potential that has been used with success for silicon at low temperatures. However, the melting…
We consider hybrid systems consisting of a hole-doped semiconductor coupled to electronic states of finite-size superconductors, where the opposite sign of the masses in the two subsystems give rise to insulating gaps at subband…
The steady-state, space-charge-limited piezoresistance (PZR) of defect-engineered, silicon-on-insulator device layers containing silicon divacancy defects changes sign as a function of applied bias. Above a punch-through voltage ($V_t$)…
There is a general perception that large piezoelectric response in ferroelectric alloys requires tuning the system towards a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB), i.e., a composition driven inter-ferroelectric instability. Here we show that…
The design and fabrication of room-temperature ferrotoroidic materials and magnetic semiconductors are recognized worldwide as a great challenge, and of both theoretical and practical importance in the field of condensed matter physics and…
Large linear magnetoresistance (MR) in electron-injected p-type silicon at very low magnetic field is observed experimentally at room temperature. The large linear MR is induced in electron-dominated space-charge transport regime, where the…
