Reports of metallic behavior in two-dimensional (2D) systems such as high mobility metal-oxide field effect transistors, insulating oxide interfaces, graphene, and MoS2 have challenged the well-known prediction of Abrahams, et al. that all…
Many-body interactions in transition-metal oxides give rise to a wide range of functional properties, such as high-temperature superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, or multiferroicity. The seminal recent discovery of a…
The recent experimental observation of a metal-insulator transition in two dimensions prompts a re-examination of the theory of disordered interacting systems. We argue that the existing theory permits the existence of a metallic phase and…
Strongly correlated materials often exhibit an electronic phase separation (EPS) phenomena whose domain pattern is random in nature. The ability to control the spatial arrangement of the electronic phases at microscopic scales is highly…
The results of first principles electronic structure calculations for the metallic rutile and the insulating monoclinic M1 phase of vanadium dioxide are presented. In addition, the insulating M2 phase is investigated for the first time. The…
We report the simultaneous measurement of the structural and electronic components of the metal-insulator transition of VO$_2$ using electron and photoelectron spectroscopies and microscopies. We show that these evolve over different…
Aging effects in the relaxations of conductivity of a two-dimensional electron system in Si have been studied as a function of carrier density. They reveal an abrupt change in the nature of the glassy phase at the metal-insulator transition…
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy suggests the formation of a two dimensional electron gas (2DEG) on the TiO2 terminated surface of undoped SrTiO3 single crystals annealed at temperature lower than 400 {\deg}C in ultra high vacuum conditions.…
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) of V6O11 is studied by means of electronic structure calculations using the augmented spherical wave method. The calculations are based on density functional theory and the local density approximation.…
We report on the fabrication and characterization of patterned high-mobility two-dimensional electron gases (2DEG) formed on SrTiO$_3$ (STO) substrate surfaces by hydrogen plasma exposure. The resulting devices consistently showed high…
We present a theoretical investigation of the voltage-driven metal insulator transition based on solving coupled Boltzmann and Hartree-Fock equations to determine the insulating gap and the electron distribution in a model system -- a one…
We present evidence that the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in a tensile strained NdNiO3 (NNO) film is facilitated by a redistribution of electronic density and neither requires Ni charge disproportionation nor symmetry change [1, 2].…
We report on the modeling of polarization-induced two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) formation at ${\epsilon}$-AlGaO3 / ${\epsilon}$-Ga2O3 heterointerface and the effect of spontaneous polarization (Psp) reversal on 2DEG density in…
Electronic phase separation consisting of the metallic and insulating domains with 50 -- 100 $\mu$m in diameter is found in the organic Mott system $\kappa$-[($h$8-BEDT-TTF)$_{1-x}$($d$8-BEDT-TTF)$_{x}$]$_{2}$Cu[N(CN)$_{2}$]Br by means of…
Understanding, creating, and manipulating spin polarization of two-dimensional electron gases at complex oxide interfaces presents an experimental challenge. For example, despite almost a decade long research effort, the microscopic origin…
In solids, strong repulsion between electrons can inhibit their movement and result in a "Mott" metal-to-insulator transition (MIT), a fundamental phenomenon whose understanding has remained a challenge for over 50 years. A key issue is how…
This review first describes the evidence that strongly suggests the existence of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in a two-dimensional electron system in Si regardless of the amount of disorder. Extensive studies of the charge dynamics…
Tunneling between two parallel, two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) in a complex oxide heterostructure containing a large, mobile electron density of ~ 3x10^14 cm^-2 is used to probe the subband structure of the 2DEGs.…
Structural phase separation in A$_x$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_2$ system has been studied by different experimental techniques, however, it should be important to know how the electronic uniformity is influenced, on which length scale the electronic…
Recent thermodynamic measurements on two-dimensional (2D) electron systems have found diverging behavior in the magnetic susceptibility and appearance of ferromagnetism with decreasing electron density. The critical densities for these…
