We theoretically investigate inelastic transport through anisotropic magnetic molecules weakly coupled to one ferromagnetic and one nonmagnetic lead. We find that the current is suppressed over wide voltage ranges due to spin blockade. In…
The separation of the charge- and spin ordering temperatures of the stripe phase in cuprate superconductors has been used to argue that the striped phase is charge driven. Scaling analysis of a non-linear sigma model shows that the effect…
Anisotropy describes the directional dependence of a material's properties such as transport and optical response. In conventional bulk materials, anisotropy is intrinsically related to the crystal structure, and thus not tunable by the…
The scattering matrix approach to phase-coherent transport is generalized to nonlinear ac-transport. In photon-assisted electron transport it is often only the dc-component of the current that is of experimental interest. But ac-currents at…
Investigating the anisotropy of superconductors permits an access to fundamental properties. Having succeeded in the fabrication of epitaxial superconducting LaFeAs(O,F) thin films we performed an extensive study of electrical transport…
Carbon nanotube networks are one of the candidate materials to function as malleable, transparent, conducting films, with the technologically promising application of being used as flexible electronic displays. Nanotubes disorderly…
We present a comprehensive investigation into disorder-mediated charge transport in InP nanowires in the statistical doping regime. At zero gate voltage transport is well described by the space charge limited current model and…
Understanding the movement of charge within organic semiconducting films is crucial for applications in photo-voltaics and flexible electronics. We study the sensitivity of the electrical conductance of a silicon nanowire to changes of…
Recent angle-resolved spectroscopy in BiS$_2$-based superconductors has indicated that the superconducting gap amplitude possesses remarkable anisotropy and/or a sign change on a small Fermi pocket around $X$ point. It implies a possibility…
We have examined the impact of charged impurity scattering on charge carrier transport in bilayer graphene (BLG) by deposition of potassium in ultra-high vacuum at low temperature. Charged impurity scattering gives a conductivity which is…
We devise a methodology for charge, heat, and entropy transport driven by carriers with finite lifetimes. Combining numerical simulations with analytical expressions for low temperatures, we establish a comprehensive and thermodynamically…
We study the effects of charged impurity scattering on the electronic transport properties of <110>-oriented Si nanowires in a gate-all-around geometry, where the impurity potential is screened by the gate, gate oxide and conduction band…
We report $^{59}$Co NMR and transport measurements on $n$-type filled skutterudites Ba$_x$Yb$_y$Co$_4$Sb$_{12}$ and $A$$_x$Co$_4$Sb$_{12}$ ($A$= Ba, Sr), promising thermoelectric materials. The results demonstrate consistently that a…
Broken symmetries in graphene affect the massless nature of its charge carriers. We present an analysis of scattering by defects in graphene in the presence of spin-orbit interactions (SOIs). A characteristic constant ratio ($\simeq 2$) of…
We quantify the degree of disorder in the {\pi}-{\pi} stacking direction of crystallites of a high performing semicrystalline semiconducting polymer with advanced X-ray lineshape analysis. Using first principles calculations, we obtain the…
Charge transport in semiconducting single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) with Schottky-barrier contacts has been studied at high bias. We observe nearly symmetric ambipolar transport with electron and hole currents significantly exceeding 25…
We measure charge transport in hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) using a nanometer scale silicon MOSFET as a charge sensor. This charge detection technique makes possible the measurement of extremely large resistances. At high…
Both cuprates and iron-based superconductors demonstrate nematicity, defined as the spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry in electron systems. The nematic state can play a role in the high-transition-temperature superconductivity of…
Scanning tunneling images of carbon nanotubes frequently show electron distributions which break the local sixfold symmetry of the graphene sheet. We present a theory of these images which relates these anisotropies to the off diagonal…
Two-dimensional materials with strong bandstructure anisotropy such as black phosphorus BP have been identified as attractive candidates for logic application due to their potential high carrier velocity and large density-of-states.…
