Co$_2$C nanoparticles (NPs) are amongst transition metal carbides whose magnetic properties have not been well explored. A recent study by Nirmal Roy et al. [1] showed that a collection of Co$_2$C NPs exhibit an exchange bias (EB) effect…

The thermopower and thermal conductivity of superconducting perovskite $MgCNi_3$ ($T_c \approx$ 8 K) have been studied. The thermopower is negative from room temperature to 10 K. Combining with the negative Hall coefficient reported…

Kondo insulators have recently aroused great interest because they are promising materials that host a topological insulator state caused by the strong electron interactions. Moreover, recent observations of the quantum oscillations in the…

We have studied the resistivity, $\rho$, of a two-dimensional electron system in silicon in the temperature range 200 mK < T < 7.5 K at zero magnetic field at low electron densities, when the electron system is in the insulating regime. Our…

Electronic and transport properties of CuGaTe$_2$, a hole-doped ternary copper based chalcopyrite type semiconductor, are studied using calculations within the Density Functional Theory and solving the Boltzmann transport equation within…

We have studied thermoelectric effect of a Kane-Mele normal-insulator-superconductor (KMNIS) junction at ultra-low temperatures using a modified version of the well-known Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) theory. Since both the (electronic)…

Topological insulators give rise to exquisite electronic properties due to their spin-momentum locked Dirac-cone-like band structure. Recently, it has been suggested that the required opposite parities between valence and conduction band…

We study magnetic, transport and thermal properties of Cobalt carbide nanocomposite with a mixture of Co2C and Co3C phases in 1:1 ratio, with an average particle diameter of 40$\pm 15$ nm. We show that the behavior of the nanocomposite is…

Doped BaCoSO was recently predicted to be a high-temperature superconductor in a new class based on Co and Ni. Using a Co-S self flux method, we synthesized single crystals of the antiferromagnetic insulator BaCoSO. Our magnetic and…

We report on nonlinear cotunneling spectroscopy of a carbon nanotube quantum dot coupled to Nb superconducting contacts. Our measurements show rich subgap features in the stability diagram which become more pronounced as the temperature is…

We report magnetic field dependent transport measurements on a single crystal of cubic YSb together with first principles calculations of its electronic structure. The transverse magnetoresistance does not saturate up to 9 T and attains a…

The magnetic properties and magnetic structure are presented for CoPS$_3$, a quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet on a honeycomb lattice with a N\'eel temperature of $T_N \sim 120$ K. The compound is shown to have XY-like anisotropy in its…

Both experimental and theoretical studies show non-trivial topological behaviour in native rocksalt phase for SnS and SnSe and categorize these materials in topological crystalline insulators. Here, the detailed electronic structures…

We report a super-insulating behavior, in a device having granular Pb film on back-gated few-layer $\mathrm{MoS_2}$, below an onset temperature same as the critical temperature $T_{\rm C}\approx7$ K of bulk Pb. Below $T_{\rm C}$, the…

The Weyl semimetal NbP exhibits an extremely large magnetoresistance (MR) and an ultra-high mobility. The large MR originates from a combination of the nearly perfect compensation between electron- and hole-type charge carriers and the high…

In this report, we present the magnetotransport and magnetization properties of LaSbTe single crystals. Magnetic field-induced turn-on behavior and low-temperature resistivity plateau have been observed. By adopting both metal-semiconductor…

The temperature-dependent electronic structures of heavy fermion compound CeB$_{6}$ are investigated thoroughly by means of the combination of density functional theory and single-site dynamical mean-field theory. The band structure,…

The search for semiconductors with high thermoelectric figure of merit has been greatly aided by theoretical modeling of electron and phonon transport, both in bulk materials and in nanocomposites. Recent experiments have studied…

Superconducting radio frequency accelerating cavities made with different material layers, such as copper, Nb or Nb3Sn, are susceptible to thermoelectric effects due to differences in Seebeck coefficients between the metals. A temperature…

Comprehensive study using DC transport, specific heat, magnetization, and two-coil mutual inductance measurements unveils an understanding of three temperature regimes in SmB$_6$: (i) $T \geq T^{*}$ ($\sim66$K), (ii) $T_g$ ($\sim40$ K)…
