We report observations of the Coulomb drag effect between two effectively 2-d insulating a-Si_{1-x}Nb_{x} films. We find that there only exist a limited range of experimental parameters over which we can measure a sizable linear-response…
Magneto-caloric effects (MCEs) measurement system in adiabatic condition is proposed to investigate the thermodynamic properties in pulsed magnetic fields up to 55 T. With taking the advantage of the fast field- sweep rate in pulsed field,…
A study of methodological nature demonstrates the efficiency of a probation test allowing for the intrinsic character of a rheological constitutive law to be assessed. Such a law is considered here for Semi-Crystalline Polymers exhibiting…
Using the strong temperature dependent resistance of a normal metal wire in proximity to a superconductor, we have been able to measure the local temperature of electrons heated by flowing a dc current in a metallic wire to within a few…
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…
Temperature-sensitive hydrogels based on polymers such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) undergo a volume phase transition in response to changes in temperature. During this transition, distinct changes in both thermal and mechanical…
We present a numerical method for the investigation of non-ergodic effects in the Coulomb glass. For that, an almost complete set of low-energy many-particle states is obtained by a new algorithm. The dynamics of the sample is mapped to the…
We report on the resistance behavior of bare-chip Cernox thermometers under pressures up to 2 GPa, generated in a piston-cylinder pressure cell. Our results clearly show that Cernox thermometers, frequently used in low-temperature…
To investigate the caloric effects in the CsH$_2$PO$_4$ ferroelectric, a modified pseudospin model of this crystal is used, which takes into account the dependence of the parameters of interaction between pseudospins on lattice strains. The…
Dielectric spectroscopy measurements over a broad range of temperature and pressure were carried out on poly(oxybutylene) (POB), a type-A polymer (dielectrically-active normal mode). There are three dynamic processes appearing at lower…
We report development of a high-sensitivity torsion balance to measure the thermal Casimir force. Special emphasis is placed on experimental investigations of a possible surface electric force originating from surface patch potentials that…
The scaling behavior of the so-called boson peak in glass-formers and its relation to the elastic properties of the system remains a source of controversy. Here, the boson peak in a binary reactive mixture is measured by Raman scattering…
The effect of cyclic loading on relaxation dynamics and mechanical properties of metallic glasses is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. We consider the Kob-Andersen three-dimensional binary mixture rapidly cooled across the glass…
The ability to simulate realistically the electronic structure of superconducting materials is important to understand and predict various properties emerging in both the superconducting topological and spintronics realms. We introduce a…
A thorough comprehension of the rheological behavior of polymers during industrial processes is essential for optimizing manufacturing efficiency and product quality. The final properties and behavior of resulting polymer parts are known to…
The presence of a quantum critical point (QCP) can significantly affect the thermodynamic properties of a material at finite temperatures T. This is reflected, e.g., in the entropy landscape S(T, r) in the vicinity of a QCP, yielding…
Polar Kerr effect in the high-Tc superconductor \YBCO was measured at zero magnetic field with high precision using a cyogenic Sagnac fiber interferometer. We observed non-zero Kerr rotations of order $\sim 1 \mu$rad appearing near the…
We report the magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in a polycrystalline plumbide sample of $\mathrm{Ho_2Pd_2Pb}$. Arc-melted $\mathrm{Ho_2Pd_2Pb}$ crystallizes in $\mathrm{Mo_2B_2Fe}$ type of tetragonal crystal structure and shows an…
We conduct a series of measurements on the thermodynamic properties of an optically-trapped strongly interacting Fermi gas, including the energy $E$, entropy $S$, and sound velocity $c$. Our model-independent measurements of $E$ and $S$…
Highly filled conductive polymer composites (CPCs) are widely used in applications such as bipolar plate materials for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and redox flow batteries, electromagnetic interference shielding and sensors due…
