In the present work, we report the experimental thermopower ($\alpha$) data for ZnV$_{2}$O$_{4}$ compound in the high temperature range 300-600 K. The value of $\alpha$ is found to be $\sim$184 and $\sim$126 $\mu$V/K at $\sim$300 and…

Our theoretical understanding of heavy-fermion compounds mainly derives from iconic models, such as those due to Kondo or Anderson. While providing invaluable qualitative insight, detailed comparisons to experiments are encumbered by the…

We study nonequilibrium thermoelectric transport properties of a correlated impurity connected to two leads for temperatures below the Kondo scale. At finite bias, for which a current flows across the leads, we investigate the differential…

Superconductivity in three dimensions is almost universally governed by Ginzburg-Landau mean field theory, with critical fluctuations typically confined to within a few percent of the transition temperature ($T_{\rm c}$). We report that the…

We present a study of thermal conductivity in the normal state of the heavy-fermion superconductor URu$_{2}$Si$_{2}$. Ordering at 18K leads to a steep increase in thermal conductivity and (in contrast with all other cases of magnetic…

We study the thermopower of a quantum dot weakly coupled to two reservoirs by tunnel junctions. At low temperatures the transport through the dot is suppressed by charging effects (Coulomb blockade). As a result the thermopower shows an…

The design of uranium-based thermoelectric materials presents a novel and intriguing strategy for directly converting nuclear heat into electrical power. Using high-level first-principles approach combined with accurate solution of…

We use quantum kinetic theory to calculate the thermoelectric transport properties of the 2D single band Fermi-Hubbard model in the weak coupling limit. For generic filling, we find that the high-temperature limiting behaviors of the…

We report a comprehensive characterization of the magnetic, electrical transport, spectral, and thermal properties of single-crystalline Zintl-type material EuIn2P2. The compound crystallizes with a hexagonal unit cell (space group P63/mmc)…

Interference effects in quantum dots between different transport channels can lead to a strong suppression of conductance, which cuts like a canyon through the common conductance plot [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 186804 (2010)]. In the present…

We have measured magnetization at high pressure in the uranium ferromagnetic superconductor UGe$_2$ and analyzed the magnetic data using Takahashi's spin fluctuation theory. There is a peak in the pressure dependence of the width of the…

Tunable Kondo lattice and heavy fermion physics have been recently reported in moir\'e materials, but most of the studies have focused on the electrical and magnetic properties. Quantitative thermoelectric measurements, which can reveal…

Results of combined thermal and electrical transport measurements through the magnetic field-induced quantum critical point in the heavy-fermion compound YbRh2Si2 are revisited to explore the relationship between the strange-metal behavior,…

We present a theory of superconductivity in charge Kondo systems, materials with resonant quantum valence fluctuations, in the regime where the transition temperature is comparable to the charge Kondo resonance. We find superconductivity…

The interplay among electronic nematicity, charge density wave, and superconductivity in correlated electronic systems has induced extensive research interest. Here, we discover the existence of nematic fluctuations in TiSe2 single crystal…

Thermoelectric transport of two-dimensional quantum spin Hall systems are theoretically studied in narrow ribbon geometry. We find that at high temperature electrons in the bulk states dominate. By lowering temperature, the "perfectly…

The thermoelectric power S and the thermal conductivity k of stoichiometric and vacancy-doped CaB6 have been measured between 5 and 300 K. The thermopower of both materials is surprisingly large at room temperature. Across the whole covered…

We present experimental results on thermoelectric power ({\em S}) and electrical resistivity ($\rho $) of pseudobinary alloys Ho(Al$_x$Co$_{1-x}$)$_2$ ($0 \leq x \leq 0.1 $), in the temperature range 4.2 K to 300 K. The work focuses on the…

We study the thermoelectric properties of bulk $MoSe_2$ within relaxation time approximation including electron-phonon and ionized impurity interactions using first-principles calculations at room temperatures. The anisotropy of this…

Some of the most remarkable phenomena---and greatest theoretical challenges---in condensed matter physics arise when $d$ or $f$ electrons are neither fully localized around their host nuclei, nor fully itinerant. This localized/itinerant…
