We report on the observation of non-metallic electrical conduction, resistive switching, and a negative temperature coefficient of resistance in cluster-assembled nanostructured gold films above the electrical percolation and in…
An intense femtosecond-laser excitation of a solid induces highly nonthermal conditions. In materials like silicon, laser-induced bond-softening leads to a highly incoherent ionic motion and eventually nonthermal melting. But is this…
In the present work, a theoretical study of electron-phonon (electron-ion) coupling rates in semiconductors driven out of equilibrium is performed. Transient change of optical coefficients reflects the band gap shrinkage in covalently…
The change of bonding status, typically occurring only in chemical processes, could dramatically alter the material properties. Here, we show that a tunable breaking and forming of a diatomic bond can be achieved through physical means,…
In strongly correlated multi-band systems, like inter-metallics, heavy fermions or Kondo insulators, electron-electron and electron-phonon scattering of the electrons in the bands give rise, at finite temperatures, to a damping of these…
We have examined the electronic structure evolution in transition metal dichalcogenides MX$_2$, where M=Mo,W and X=S,Se and Te. These are generally referred to as van der Waals heterostructures on the one hand, yet one has band gap changes…
Hyperdoping Si with chalcogens is a topic of great interest due to the strong sub-bandgap absorption exhibited by the resulting material, which can be exploited to develop broadband room-temperature infrared photodetectors using fully…
We study the temperature dependence of the conductivity of the 2D electronic solid. In realistic samples, a domain structure forms in the solid and each domain randomly orients in the absence of the in-plane field. At higher temperature,…
We have made a detailed temperature-dependent photoemission study of VO_2/TiO_2(001) thin films, which show a metal-insulator transition at \sim 300 K. Clean surfaces were obtained by annealing the films in an oxygen atmosphere. Spectral…
We introduce a novel coarse-grained bead-spring model for flexible polymers to systematically examine the effects of an adjusted bonded potential on the formation and stability of structural macrostates in a thermal environment. The density…
Temperature-driven metal-insulator and pressure-driven insulator-metal transitions observed in(BEDT-TTF)8[Hg4X12(C6H5Y)2]] with X = Y = Br are studied through band structure calculations based on X-ray crystal structure determination and…
The interplay between strong Coulomb interactions and randomness has been a long-standing problem in condensed matter physics. According to the scaling theory of localization, in two-dimensional systems of noninteracting or weakly…
Conjugated polymers are soft, one-dimensional conductors that admit complex interactions between their polymeric, conformational degrees of freedom and their electronic ones. The presence of extended electronic states along their backbone…
Strongly correlated insulators, such as Mott or charge-transfer insulators, exhibit a strong temperature dependence in their resistivity. Consequently, self-heating effects can lead to electrothermal instabilities in planar thin film…
In this work we present a comparative investigation of the electronic structures of NbO$_2$ and VO$_2$ obtained within the combination of density functional theory and cluster-dynamical mean field theory calculations. We investigate the…
We show that the inclusion of nonlocal correlation effects in a variational wave function for the ground state of a topological Anderson lattice Hamiltonian is capable of describing both topologically trivial insulating phases and…
Light-manipulation of correlated electronic phases in solids offers the tantalizing prospect of realizing electronic devices operating at the ultrafast time-scale. In this context, the experimental realization of non-equilibrium transitions…
In van der Waals bonded or rotationally disordered multilayer stacks of two-dimensional (2D) materials, the electronic states remain tightly confined within individual 2D layers. As a result, electron-phonon interactions occur primarily…
Physical foundations of adiabatic and nonadiabatic electronics of materials are considered in this article. It is shown the limitation of adiabatic approach to electronics of materials. It is shown that nonadiabatic physical properties of…
The melting of a Wigner Crystal of electrons placed into a host polar material is examined as a function of the density and the temperature. When the coupling to the longitudinal optical modes of the host medium is turned on, the WC is…
