We report the temperature-pressure phase diagram of a UTe$_2$ single crystal that does not undergo a bulk superconducting transition but shows filamentary superconductivity with a critical transition temperature of 1 K at ambient pressure.…
Temperature evolution of the 2H-TaSe2 Fermi surface (FS) is studied by high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). High-accuracy determination of the FS geometry was possible after measuring electron momenta and…
Electrical conductivity with gate-sweep in a few layer MoS$_2$-on-SiO$_2$ field-effect-transistor shows an abrupt reduction in hysteresis when cooled. The hysteresis and time dependent conductivity of the MoS$_2$ channel are modeled using…
We used transport and inelastic neutron scattering to study the optimally phosphorus-doped BaFe$_2$(As$_{0.7}$P$_{0.3}$)$_2$ superconductor ($T_c = 30$ K). In the normal state, we find that the previously reported linear temperature…
The development of good thermoelectric materials exhibiting high $ZT$ (=$\frac{PF}{\kappa} T$) requires maximizing power factor, $PF$, mainly governed by electrons, and minimizing thermal conductivity, $\kappa$, associated not only with…
We report the discovery of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the surface of thermoelectric material In$_4$Se$_3$ by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The observed 2DEG exhibits a nearly isotropic band dispersion with a…
We present an analysis of the potential thermoelectric performance of p-type AgGaTe$_{2}$, which has already shown a $ZT$ of 0.8 with partial optimization, and observe that the same band structure features, such as a mixture of light and…
The discoveries of two-dimensional ferromagnetism and magnetic semiconductors highly enrich the magnetic material family for constructing spin-based electronic devices but with an acknowledged challenge that the Curie temperature (Tc) is…
We present structural, electrical, and thermoelectric potential measurements on high-quality single crystals of ZrTe$_{1.8}$ grown from isothermal chemical vapor transport. These measurements show that the Te-deficient ZrTe$_{1.8}$, which…
We study the resistivity vs. electric field dependence $\rho(E)$ of a 2D hole system in SiGe close to the B=0 metal-insulator transition. Using $\rho$ as a ``thermometer'' to obtain the effective temperature of the holes $T_e(E)$, we find…
High thermoelectric properties are associated with the phonon-glass electron-crystal paradigm. Conventional wisdom suggests that the optimal bandgap of semiconductor to achieve the largest power factor should be between 6 and 10 kbT. To…

Single-phase films of the full Heusler compound Fe2TiSi have been prepared by magnetron sputtering. The compound is found to be a semiconductor with a gap of 0.4eV. The electrical resistivity has a logarithmic temperature dependence up to…
Thermoelectric power ($S$) and Hall effect ($R_\mathrm{H}$) measurements on the paramagnetic superconductor UTe$_2$ with magnetic field applied along the hard magnetization $b$-axis are reported. The first order nature of the metamagnetic…
Polycrystalline samples of Er$_{1-x}$Ho$_x$NiSb ($x$ = 0, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.8, 1) were characterized by means of x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and optical metallography. The results proved the…

We study the superconducting properties of a two-dimensional superconductor in the proximity to an electronic topological transition (ETT). In contrast to the 3D case, we find that the superconducting gap at T=0, the critical temperature…
