Increasing resistivity of metal wires with reducing nanoscale dimensions is a major performance bottleneck of semiconductor computing technologies. We show that metals with suitably anisotropic Fermi velocity distributions can strongly…
The resistivity scaling of metals is a crucial limiting factor for further downscaling of interconnects in nanoelectronic devices that affects signal delay, heat production, and energy consumption. Here, we generalize a commonly considered…
Two-dimensional materials with strong bandstructure anisotropy such as black phosphorus BP have been identified as attractive candidates for logic application due to their potential high carrier velocity and large density-of-states.…
The electrical resistivity of conventional metals, such as copper, is known to increase in thin films due to electron-surface scattering, limiting the performance of metals in nanoscale electronics. Here, we find an unusual reduction of…
It is generally understood that the resistivity of metal thin films scales with film thickness mainly due to grain boundary and boundary surface scattering. Recently, several experiments and ab initio simulations have demonstrated the…
We establish theoretically that in nonmagnetic semiconducting bilayer or multilayer thin film systems rolled up into compact quasi-one-dimensional nanoarchitectures, the ballistic magnetoresistance is very anisotropic: conductances depend…
The sharp increase in resistivity of copper interconnects at ultra-scaled dimensions threatens the continued miniaturization of integrated circuits. Topological semimetals (TSMs) with gapless surface states (Fermi arcs) provide conduction…
The undoped three-orbital spin fermion model for the Fe-based superconductors is studied via Monte Carlo techniques in two-dimensional clusters. At low temperatures, the magnetic and one-particle spectral properties are in good agreement…
We discuss various aspects of non-local electrical transport in anisotropic metals. For a metal with circular Fermi surface, the scattering rates entering the local conductivity and viscosity tensors are well-defined, corresponding to…
We study the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of interacting two-dimensional metallic systems. We perform a numerical simulation of the nonequilibrium state based on semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory. Through our…
Although monolayer black phosphorus (BP) or phosphorene has been successfully exfoliated and its optical properties have been explored, most of electrical performance of the devices is demonstrated on few-layer phosphorene and ultra-thin BP…
A misalignment of anisotropic crystallites causes small values of anisotropy and decreases the critical current density of textured polycrystalline superconductors. To relate the crystallite misalignment and out-plane anisotropy, the…
Scaling transistors' dimensions has been the thrust for the semiconductor industry in the last 4 decades. However, scaling channel lengths beyond 10 nm has become exceptionally challenging due to the direct tunneling between source and…
Using uniaxial stress to tune the critical density near that of the sample, we have studied in detail the low-temperature conductivity of p-type Si:B in the insulating phase very near the metal-insulator transition. For all values of…
Motivated by the recent discovery of metallic surface states in the d-electron Kondo insulator candidates FeSi and FeSb2, along with some recent reports of magnetic correlations in the surface transport properties of FeSi, we have…
The effect of strong anisotropy on the Fermi line of a system of correlated electrons is studied in two space dimensions, using renormalization group techniques. Inflection points change the scaling exponents of the couplings, enhancing the…
Unconventional superconductivity often emerges at the border of long-range magnetic orders. Understanding the low-energy charge dynamics may provide crucial information on the formation of superconductivity. Here we report the…
We study the scaling behaviour of the optical conductivity $(\sigma)$, free energy density $(F)$, and shear viscosity of the quantum critical point associated with the spin density wave phase transition for a two-dimensional metallic system…
Materials with axis-dependent conduction polarity are known as $p\times n$-type or goniopolar conductors that can be used for transverse thermoelectric devices, allowing the longitudinal thermal current to be converted into the transverse…
We report on temperature-dependent size and anisotropy of the Fermi pockets in graphite revealed by magnetotransport measurements. The magnetoresistances obtained in fields along the c-axis obey an extended Kohler's rule, with the carrier…
