The weak localization correction to the conductivity of a granular metal is calculated using the diagrammatic technique in the reciprocal grain lattice representation. The properties of this correction are very similar to that one in…
We investigate transport in a granular metallic system at large tunneling conductance between the grains. We show that at low temperatures, $T\leq g_T\delta $, where $\delta$ is the single mean energy level spacing in a grain, the coherent…
We investigate transport in a granular metallic system at large tunneling conductance between the grains, $g_T\gg 1$. We show that at low temperatures, $T\leq g_T\delta $, where $\delta$ is the single mean energy level spacing in a grain,…
We study the electron thermal transport in granular metals at large tunnel conductance between the grains, $g_T \gg 1$ and not too low a temperature $T > g_T\delta$, where $\delta$ is the mean energy level spacing for a single grain. Taking…
We study the effects of Coulomb interaction and inter-grain quantum tunnelling in an array of metallic grains using the phase-functional approach for temperatures $T$ well below the charging energy $E_{c}$ of individual grains yet large…
We study Coulomb blockade effects in the thermodynamic quantities of a weakly disordered metallic grain coupled to a metallic lead by a tunneling contact with a large conductance $g_T$. We consider the case of broken time-reversal symmetry…
We describe electron transport through small metallic grains with Coulomb blockade effects beyond the perturbative regime. For this purpose we study the real-time evolution of the reduced density matrix of the system. In the first part of…
We study the effects of localization on the Hall transport in a granular system at large tunneling conductance $g_{T}\gg 1$ corresponding to the metallic regime. We show that the first-order in 1/g_T weak localization correction to Hall…
We investigate the suppression of the superconducting transition temperature due to Coulomb repulsion in granular metallic systems at large tunneling conductance between the grains, $g_{T}\gg 1$. We find the correction to the…
We consider effects of Coulomb interaction in a granular normal metal at not very low temperatures suppressing weak localization effects. In this limit calculations with the initial electron Hamiltonian are reduced to integrations over a…
We discuss the influence of the electromagnetic environment and the electron-electron interaction on the weak localization correction to the conductivity of a disordered metal. The theory of this phenomenon for sufficiently high…
Electron tunneling through mesoscopic metallic grains can be treated perturbatively only provided the tunnel junction conductances are sufficiently small. If it is not the case, fluctuations of the grain charge become strong. As a result…
This paper is devoted to the temperature dependence of the resistivity in Si- MOS samples over the wide range of densities in the ``metallic phase'' (n>n_c) but not too close to the critical density n_c. Three domains of different behavior…
We report electron transport studies in an encapsulated few-layer WTe$_2$ at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. The magnetoconductance reveals a temperature-induced crossover between weak antilocalization (WAL) and weak localization…
We investigate thermopower and thermoelectric coefficient of nano-granular materials at large tunneling conductance between the grains, g_{T} >> 1. We show that at intermediate temperatures, T >= g_{T}\delta, where \delta is the mean energy…
We present temperature-dependent conductivity data obtained on a sample set of nanogranular Pt-C with finely tuned inter-grain tunnel coupling strength g. For samples in the strong-coupling regime g > g_C, characterized by a finite…
Weak localization and weak anti-localization are quantum interference effects in quantum transport in a disordered electron system. Weak anti-localization enhances the conductivity and weak localization suppresses the conductivity with…
We consider interaction effects in a granular normal metal at not very low temperatures. Assuming that all weak localization effects are suppressed by the temperature we replace the initial Hamiltonian by a proper functional of phases and…
A crossover between logarithmic and exponential temperature dependence of the conductance (weak and strong localization) has been observed in ultrathin films of metals deposited onto substrates held at liquid helium temperatures. The…
We non-perturbatively analyze the effect of electron-electron interactions on weak localization (WL) in relatively short metallic conductors with a tunnel barrier. We demonstrate that the main effect of interactions is electron dephasing…
