Investigating the role of disorder in superconductors is an essential part of characterizing the fundamental superconducting properties as well as assessing potential applications of the material. In most cases, the information available on…
Bulk bismuth has a complex Landau spectrum. The small effective masses and the large g-factors are anisotropic. The chemical potential drifts at high magnetic fields. Moreover, twin boundaries further complexify the interpretation of the…
The discovery of two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) magnetic materials has propelled advancements in technological devices. The Nernst effect, which generates a transverse electric voltage in the presence of a longitudinal thermal…
Bulk magnetism in solids is fundamentally quantum mechanical in nature. Yet in many situations, including our everyday encounters with magnetic materials, quantum effects are masked, and it often suffices to think of magnetism in terms of…
We study the persistent currents induced by the Aharonov-Bohm effect in a closed ring which either embeds or is directly side coupled to a quantum dot at Kondo resonance. We predict that in both cases, the persistent current is very…
The investigation of the electronic properties of semiconductors is inherently challenging due to the ensemble averaging of fundamentals to transport measurements (i.e., resistivity, Hall, and Seebeck coefficient measurements). Here, we…
Expressions for the absorption spectrum of a nucleus in a three- and a two-dimensional crystal respectively are obtained analytically at zero and at finite temperature respectively. It is found that for finite temperature in two dimensions…
In the recent work of Ref.\cite{Vlaic2017-bs}, it has been shown that Pb nanocrystals grown on the electron accumulation layer at the (110) surface of InAs are in the regime of Coulomb blockade. This enabled the first scanning tunneling…
We calculated the Coulomb drag contribution to the resistivity and the transresistivity for a double layer system, in which the passive layer is a Wigner crystal pinned by impurities, and the active one is a metal. We found that in quasi…
Thermoelectric modules are a promising approach to energy harvesting and efficient cooling. In addition to the longitudinal Seebeck effect, recently transverse devices utilizing the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) have attracted interest. For…
One-dimensional (1D) quasicrystals exhibit physical phenomena associated with the 2D integer quantum Hall effect. Here, we transcend dimensions and show that a previously inaccessible phase of matter --- the 4D integer quantum Hall effect…
Phonon spectra in solids often display anomalies that defy the simple Debye law, most prominently the van Hove singularity in crystals and the boson peak in glasses. Although traditionally regarded as distinct, both features are…
We study Coulomb drag in a system consisting of a carbon nanotube (CNT) and monolayer graphene. Within the Fermi liquid theory we calculate the drag resistivity and find that the dimensional mismatch of the system components leads to a…
A quantum theory is developed for the scattering of a nonrelativistic particle in the field of a cosmic string regarded as a combination of a magnetic and gravitational strings. Allowance is made for the effects due to the finite transverse…
We report experimental measurement of critical disorder in weakly disordered, one-dimensional photonic crystals. We measure the configurationally-averaged transmission at various degrees of weak disorder. We extract the density of states…
Intrinsic anomalous Nernst effect (ANE), like its Hall counterpart, is generated by Berry curvature of electrons in solids. Little is known about its response to disorder. In contrast, the link between the amplitude of the ordinary Nernst…
Spin and valley dependent anomalous Nernst effect are analyzed for monolayer MoS2 and other group-VI dichalcogenides. We find that pure spin and valley currents can be generated perpendicular to the applied thermal gradient in the plane of…
We investigate a singly-charged quantum dot under a strong optical driving field by probing the system with a weak optical field. When the driving field is detuned from the trion transition, the probe absorption spectrum is shifted from the…
We present a study of the Nernst effect in amorphous superconducting thin films of Nb$_{0.15}$Si$_{0.85}$. The field dependence of the Nernst coefficient above T$_{c}$ displays two distinct regimes separated by a field scale set by the…
Evading the Mermin-Wagner-Hohenberg no-go theorem and revisiting with rigor the ideal Bose gas confined in a square box, we explore a discrete phase transition in two spatial dimensions. Through both analytic and numerical methods we verify…
