Previous experimental work on a two-dimensional (2D) electron gas in a Si-on-sapphire device led to the conclusion that both conductivity and phonon drag thermopower $S^g$ are affected to the same relative extent by weak localization. The…
We report the observation of strong electron dephasing in a series of disordered Cu$_{93}$Ge$_4$Au$_3$ thin films. A very short electron dephasing time possessing very weak temperature dependence around 6 K, followed by an upturn with…
The resistivity (R) of low mobility dilute 2D-electron gas in a n-InGaAs/GaAs double quantum well (DQW) exhibits the monotonic 'insulating-like' temperature dependence (dR/dT < 0) at T = 1.8 -- 70K in zero magnetic field. This temperature…
We study thermoelectric transport properties of fractional quantum Hall systems based on exact diagonalization calculation. Based on the relation between thermoelectric response and thermal entropy, we demonstrate that thermoelectric Hall…
Conduction of electrons in matter is ultimately described by quantum mechanics. Yet at low frequency or long time scales, low temperature quantum transport is perfectly described by this very simple idea: electrons are emitted by the…
We use quantum kinetic theory to calculate the thermoelectric transport properties of the 2D single band Fermi-Hubbard model in the weak coupling limit. For generic filling, we find that the high-temperature limiting behaviors of the…
Failures attributed to hydrogen embrittlement are a major concern for metals so a better understanding of damage micro-mechanisms and hydrogen diffusion within the metal is needed. Local concentrations depend on transport phenomena…
Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) with high mobility, engineered in semiconductor heterostructures host a variety of ordered phases arising from strong correlations, which emerge at sufficiently low temperatures. The 2DEG can be…
The calculation of the dephasing time in electron systems is presented. By means of the Keldysh formalism we discuss in a unifying way both weak localization and interaction effects in disordered systems. This allows us to show how…
Low-temperature Hall measurements have been performed on two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) induced by deposition of Cs or Na on in situ cleaved surfaces of p-type InAs. The surface donor level, at which the Fermi energy of the 2DEG is…
The coherent electronic transport phenomena through quantum devices is difficult to observe due to thermal smearing and dephasing, the latter induced by inelastic scattering by phonons or impurities. In other wave systems, the temperature…
We report on the transport measurements of two-dimensional holes in GaAs field effect transistors with record low densities down to 7*10^8 cm^{-2}. Remarkably, such a dilute system (with Fermi wavelength approaching 1 micrometer) exhibits a…
We point out that even at the absolute zero of temperature environmental decoherence limits the destructive interference between time-reversed paths for an electron in a disordered metal, and thus causes the leading (`weak localization')…
We review some of our recent experimental studies on low-carrier concentration, mesoscopic two-dimensional electron gases (m2DEGs). The m2DEGs show a range of striking characteristics including a complete avoidance of the strongly localised…
The low temperature acoustic properties of bulk metallic glasses measured over a broad range of frequencies rigorously test the predictions of the standard tunneling model. The strength of these experiments and their analyses is mainly…
The behavior of the conductivity and the density of states, as well as the phase relaxation time, of disordered itinerant electrons across a quantum ferromagnetic transition is discussed. It is shown that critical fluctuations lead to…
In the normal state of high-Tc cuprates, the Hall coefficient shows remarkable temperature dependence, and its absolute value is enhanced in comparison with that value simply estimated on the basis of band structure. It has been recognized…
Strongly correlated electron liquids which occur in quantizing magnetic fields reveal a cornucopia of fascinating quantum phenomena such as fractionally charged quasiparticles, anyonic statistics, topological order, and many others. Probing…
Quantum phase fluctuations play a crucial role in low dimensional systems. In particular they prevent true long range phase order from forming in one dimensional condensates, even at zero temperature. Nevertheless, by dynamically splitting…
We report measurements of GaAs/AlGaAs undoped field-effect transistors in which two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) of exceptional quality and versatility are induced without modulation doping. Electron mobilities at T=4.2 K and density…
