We have investigated magneto-transport properties in a single crystal of pyrochore-type Nd2Ir2O7. The metallic conduction is observed on the antiferromagnetic domain walls of the all-in all-out type Ir-5d moment ordered insulating bulk…

Layered topologically non-trivial and trivial semimetals with AFM-type ordering of magnetic sublattice are known to exhibit a negative magnetoresistance that is well correlated with AFM magnetization changes in a magnetic field. This effect…

We consider a model for a metal-insulator transition of correlated electrons in an external magnetic field. We find a broad region in interaction and magnetic field where metallic and insulating (fully magnetized) solutions coexist and the…

Resistive and magnetization properties have been measured in BiS$_2$-based samples CeO$_{1-x}$F$_{x}$BiS$_{2}$ with a systematic substitution of O with F (0 $<$ x $<$ 0.6). In contrast to the band structure calculations, it is found that…

BaFe$_2$S$_3$ is a quasi one-dimensional Mott insulator that orders antiferromagnetically below 117(5)\,K. The application of pressure induces a transition to a metallic state, and superconductivity emerges. The evolution of the magnetic…

Resistivity under magnetic field, thermopower and Hall coefficient are systematically studied for [Bi$_2$Ba$_{1.3}$K$_{0.6}$Co$_{0.1}$]$^{RS}$[CoO$_2$]$_{1.97}$ single crystal. In-plane resistivity ($\rho_{ab}$(T)) shows metallic behavior…

Although most insulators are expected to undergo insulator to metal transition on lattice compression, tetrahedral semiconductors Si, GaAs and InSb can become metallic on compression as well as by expansion. We focus on the transition by…

Magnetoresistance measurements are presented for a strained p-SiGe quantum well sample where the density is varied through the B=0 metal-insulator transition. The close relationship between this transition, the high field Hall insulator…

The surface of a topological insulator hosts a very special form of a quasi-two dimensional metallic system when it is embedded in a topologically trivial medium like the vacuum. The electronic properties of this unusual 2D metal are…

We investigate ultrathin superconducting TiN films, which are very close to the localization threshold. Perpendicular magnetic field drives the films from the superconducting to an insulating state, with very high resistance. Further…

We have investigated the interplay between the metal-insulator transition and ferromagnetism in $({\rm III}_{1-x},{\rm Mn}_x){\rm V}$ ferromagnetic semiconductors. Our study is based on a model in which $S=5/2$ Mn local moments are…

Electrical current can be completely spin polarized in a class of materials known as half-metals, as a result of the coexistence of metallic nature for electrons with one spin orientation and insulating for electrons with the other. Such…

We have measured the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the resistivity of several micrometers long and heterogeneously thick graphite sample. The magnetoresistance results for fields applied nearly parallel to the graphene planes…

We consider the quasiparticle c-axis conductivity in highly anisotropic layered compounds in the presence of the magnetic field parallel to the layers. We show that at low temperatures the quasiparticle interlayer conductivity depends…

Different instabilities have been speculated for a three-dimensional electron gas confined to its lowest Landau level. The phase transition induced in graphite by a strong magnetic field, and believed to be a Charge Density Wave (CDW), is…

This paper, based on a presentation at the Spintronics 2001 conference, provides a review of our studies on II-VI and III-V Mn-doped Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors. We use simple models appropriate for the low carrier density (insulating)…

Experiments on a sufficiently disordered two-dimensional (2D) electron system in silicon reveal a new and unexpected kind of metallic behavior, where the conductivity decreases as \sigma (n_s,T)=\sigma (n_s,T=0)+A(n_s)T^2 (n_s-carrier…

It has been claimed that graphite hosts superconductivity at room temperature, although all efforts to isolate it have been vain. Here we report a separation method that uses magnetic field gradients to sort the superconducting from normal…

Finding materials exhibiting superconductivity at room temperature has long been one of the ultimate goals in physics and material science. Recently, room-temperature superconducting properties have been claimed in a copper substituted lead…

Insulating-metallic transition mediated by substitutional atoms is predicted in a series of two-dimensional carbon-based structures. Introducing Si atoms in selected sites of tetrahexcarbon [Carbon 137 (2018) 266] according to rational…
