The prototypical delafossite metal PdCoO$_2$ has been the subject of intense interest for hosting exotic transport properties. Using first-principles transport calculations and theoretical modeling, we reveal that the high electrical…
Although they were first synthesized in chemistry laboratories nearly fifty years ago, the physical properties of the metals PdCoO2, PtCoO2 and PdCrO2 have only more recently been studied in detail. The delafossite structure contains…
The origin of the quasi two-dimensional behavior of PdCoO2 and PtCoO2 is investigated by means of electronic structure calculations. They are performed using density functional theory in the generalized gradient approximation as well as the…
The delafossite series of layered oxides include some of the highest conductivity metals ever discovered. Of these, PtCoO2, with a room temperature resistivity of 1.8 microOhmcm for in-plane transport, is the most conducting of all. The…
Metallic delafossites (ABO2) are layered oxides with quasi-two dimensional conduction layers. Metallic delafossites are among the most conducting materials with the in-plane conductivity comparable with that of elemental metals. In this…
A wide range of unconventional transport phenomena have recently been observed in single-crystal delafossite metals. Here, we present a theoretical framework to elucidate electron transport using a combination of first-principles…
Understanding the role of electron correlations in strong spin-orbit transition-metal oxides is key to the realisation of numerous exotic phases including spin-orbit assisted Mott insulators, correlated topological solids, and prospective…
Through the motivation of the recent discovery of dispersionless regions in the band structure of the delafossites, a model density of states of free fermions including a discontinuity as analytical anomaly is studied. The resulting…
Recently, perovskite related BaPbO$_3$ has attracted attention due to its hidden topological properties and, moreover, has been used as a thin layer in heterostructures to induce two-dimensional superconductivity. Here we investigate the…
The highly conductive layered metallic oxide \pdcoo{} is a near-perfect analogue to an alkali metal in two dimensions. It is distinguished from other two-dimensional electron systems where the Fermi surface does not reach the Brillouin zone…
A possible origin of unusual temperature behavior of transport coefficients observed in densely packed polycrystalline CaAl_{2} compound [M. Ausloos et al., J. Appl. Phys. 96, 7338 (2004)] is discussed, including a power-like dependence of…
In recent years, two-dimensional boron sheets (borophene) have been experimentally synthesized and theoretically observed as promising conductor or transistor with novel thermal and electronic properties. We first give a general survey of…
Experimental realization of two-dimensional boron sheets was reported very recently by Feng et. al. using molecular beam epitaxy on silver (111) surface. These boron sheets possess promising electronic and transport properties. We performed…
The natural-heterostructure concept realized in delafossites highlights these layered oxides. While metallic, band- or Mott-insulating character may be associated with individual layers, inter-layer coupling still plays a decisive role. We…
The transport and thermoelectric properties of the interface between SrTiO$_3$ and a 26-monolayer thick LaAlO$_3$-layer grown at high oxygen-pressure have been investigated at temperatures from 4.2 K to 100 K and in magnetic fields up to 18…
The metallic delafossites host ultra-high mobility carriers in the bulk, while at their polar surfaces, intrinsic electronic reconstructions stabilise markedly distinct electronic phases, from charge-disproportionated insulators, to…
Comparison is made of the electronic structure of the little-studied layered transition metal oxide LiNbO$_2$ with that of Na$_x$CoO$_2$, which has attracted tremendous interest since superconductivity was discovered in its hydrate.…
Integrating multiple properties in a single system is crucial for the continuous developments in electronic devices. However, some physical properties are mutually exclusive in nature. Here, we report the coexistence of two seemingly…
We elucidate the transport properties and electronic structures of distorted rutile-type WO2. Electrical resistivity and Hall effect measurements of high-quality single crystals revealed the transport property characteristics of topological…
We report the electronic structures and transport properties of a chiral crystal NbGe$_2$, which is a candidate for a coupled electron-phonon liquid. The electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power of NbGe$_2$ exhibit clear differences…
