Optical conductivity spectra of cubic pyrochlore $Y_{2-x} Bi_x Ru_2 O_7$ (0.0$\leq ${\it x}$\leq $2.0) compounds are investigated. As a metal-insulator transition (MIT) occurs around {\it x}$=$0.8, large spectral changes are observed. With…
Neutron scattering measurements have been performed on the S=1/2 quasi-one-dimensional system Sr_{14-x}Y_{x}Cu_{24}O_{41}, which has both simple chains and two-leg ladders of copper ions. We observed that when a small amount of yttrium is…
We present the effect of yttrium substitution on superconductivity in the La$_{1-\textit{x}}$Y$_{\textit{x}}$O$_{0.5}$F$_{0.5}$BiS$_{2}$ system. Polycrystalline samples with nominal Y concentrations up to 40% were synthesized and…
Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are performed to investigate the dynamic behavior of three-dimensional binary glasses prepared via an instantaneous quench across the glass transition. We found that with increasing strain…
We have studied corrections to conductivity due to the coherent backscattering in low-disordered two-dimensional electron systems in silicon for a range of electron densities including the vicinity of the metal-insulator transition, where…
Recently it has been discovered that lanthanum, yttrium, and other metal hydride films show dramatic changes in the optical properties at the metal-insulator transition. Such changes on a high energy scale suggest the electronic structure…
The metal-insulator transition (MIT) observed in two-dimensional (2D) systems is apparently contradictory to the well known scaling theory of localization. By investigating the conductance of disordered one-dimensional systems with a finite…
We study how the Mott metal-insulator transition (MIT) is influenced when we deal with electrons with different angular momenta. For lithium we found an essential effect when we include $p$-orbitals in the description of the Hilbert space.…
Metallic oxide SrVO3 represents a prototype system for the study of the mechanism behind thickness-induced metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) or crossover in thin films due to its simple cubic symmetry with one electron in the 3d state in…
We have varied the disorder in a two-dimensional electron system in silicon by applying substrate bias. When the disorder becomes sufficiently low, we observe the emergence of the metallic phase, and find evidence for a metal-insulator…
The electrochemical reactions of solid oxide fuel cells occur in the region where gas-phase species, electrode, and electrolyte coincide. When the electrode is an ionic insulator and the electrolyte is an electronic insulator, this `triple…
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…
The insulator-to-metal transition in dense fluid hydrogen is an essential phenomenon to understand gas giant planetary interiors and the physical and chemical behavior of highly compressed condensed matter. Using fast laser spectroscopy…
The rare earth hydride YH$_{3-\delta}$ can be tuned through the metal-insulator transition both by changing $\delta$ and by illumination with ultraviolet light. The transition is dominated by strong electron-electron interactions, with…
We use a random gap model to describe a metal-insulator transition in three-dimensional semiconductors due to doping and find a conventional phase transition, where the effective scattering rate is the order parameter. Spontaneous symmetry…
We report on a metal-insulator transition (MIT) that is observed in an electron system at the SmTiO3/SrTiO3 interface. This MIT is characterized by an abrupt transition at a critical temperature, below which the resistance changes by more…
We investigated the size dependence of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in Cr-doped V2O3 nanocrystals by photoemission spectroscopy using complementary probing depths, together with magnetic susceptibility measurements. Photoemission…
In the light of new experimental evidence we study the insulating ground state of the $3d^2$-transition metal trihalides VX$_3$ (X=Cl, I). Based on Density Functional Theory with the Hubbard correction (DFT$+U$) we systematically show how…
The photo-induced metal-insulator transition is studied by the numerical simulation of real-time quantum dynamics of a double-exchange model. The spatial and temporal evolutions of the system during the transition have been revealed…
Structural, thermal, resistive and magnetic properties of melt quenched Bi 0.88 Sb 0.12 alloys are reported. The samples are heated at three different temperatures, followed by rapid quenching in liquid nitrogen. Large temperature…
