Focusing on multifractal properties we investigate electric transport on random resistor diode networks at the phase transition between the non-percolating and the directed percolating phase. Building on first principles such as symmetries…
Experimental two-phase invasion percolation flow patterns were observed in hydrophobic micro-porous networks designed to model fuel cell specific porous media. In order to mimic the operational conditions encountered in the porous…
Low field and high field transport properties of carbon nanotubes/polymer composites are investigated for different tube fractions. Above the percolation threshold f_c=0.33%, transport is due to hopping of localized charge carriers with a…
Using magnetron sputtering, we produced a series of Co/CoO-MgO nanoparticles on Si(100) substrates. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) image shows that small isolated Co-clusters (core) covered with CoO (shells) with a…
Conduction in bulk polycrystalline high-T$_c$ superconductors with relatively high critical currents has been shown to be percolative. This phenomenon is due to weak links at grain boundaries. These weak links are the major limiting factor…
Transport of electrons in a bulk metal is usually well captured by their particle-like aspects, while their wave-like nature is commonly harder to observe. Microstructures can be are fully designed to reveal the quantum phase, for example…
Cubic hafnia (HfO$_2$) is of great interest for a number of applications in electronics because of its high dielectric constant. However, common defects in such applications degrade the properties of hafina. We have investigated the…
Numerical modeling of electrodynamic aggregation is carried out for a random ensemble of magnetized nanodust taken as a many body system of strongly magnetized thin rods (i.e., one-dimensional static magnetic dipoles), which possess…
Good metals are characterised by diffusive transport of coherent quasi-particle states and the resistivity is much less than the Mott-Ioffe-Regel (MIR) limit, $\frac{ha}{e^{2}}$, where $a$ is the lattice constant. In bad metals, such as…
Non-linear conduction in a charge-ordered manganese oxide Pr$_{0.63}$Ca$_{0.37}$MnO$_3$ is reported. To interpret such a feature, it is usually proposed that a breakdown of the charge or orbitally ordered state is induced by the current.…
The charge transport properties of hybrid halide perovskites are investigated with a combination of density functional theory including van der Waals interaction and the Boltzmann theory for diffusive transport in the relaxation time…
The silicon suboxide SiOx (x<2.0) offers promising industrial application possibilities ranging from electrodes in lithium-ion batteries, which are used widely in electrical vehicles and portable devices to sensing applications. Therefore,…
Titanyl-phthalocyanines catalytic ability towards oxygen reduction is demonstrated in experimental literature. Our recent theoretical simulations revealed electronic structure origin of catalytic ability in peripherally and axially…
There is a growing understanding that transport properties of complex oxides and individual molecules are dominated by polaron physics. In superconducting oxides the long-range Froehlich and short-range Jahn-Teller electron-phonon…
The role of the anti-bonding state in the electron correlations in Copper Oxide HTSC is analyzed. Then the t-J Hamiltonian is used to establish the formation of the charge stripes in underdoped oxides. It is proposed that these stripes make…
Defect engineering of two-dimensional materials routinely produces local magnetic moments, yet itinerant half-metallic ferromagnetism remains elusive -- experiments frequently yield paramagnetic insulators. We resolve this paradox for…
We perform ab initio calculations, based on density functional theory, of substitutional and vacancy defects in the monoclinic hafnium oxide (m-HfO2) and alpha-quartz (SiO2). The neutral oxygen vacancies and substitutional Si and Hf defects…
Recently observed Aharonov-Bohm quantum interference of period h/2e in charge density wave rings strongly suggest that correlated density wave electron transport is a cooperative quantum phenomenon. The picture discussed here posits that…
We present a detailed temperature and frequency dependence of the optical conductivity measured on clean high quality single crystals of URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$ of $ac$- and $ab$-plane surfaces. Our data demonstrate the itinerant character of the…
Traditional approaches to identify ion-transport pathways often presume equal probability of occupying all hopping sites and focus entirely on finding the lowest migration barrier channels between them. Although this strategy has been…
