Comparing resistivity data of quasi-one dimensional superconductors (TMTSF)_2PF_6 and (TMTSF)_2ClO_4 along the least conducting c*-axis and along the high conductivity a -axis as a function of temperature and pressure, a low temperature…
The transport and superconducting properties of Ba_{1-x}K_xFe_2As_2 single crystals with T_c = 31 K were studied. Both in-plane and out-of plane resistivity was measured by modified Montgomery method. The in-plane resistivity for all…
The c-axis quasiparticle conductivity shows different behavior depending on the nature of the interlayer coupling. For coherent coupling with a constant hopping amplitude $t_{\perp}$, the conductivity at zero frequency and zero temperature…
The nature of the out-of-plane dissipation was investigated in underdoped $Y_{0.54}Pr_{0.46}Ba_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-\delta}$ single crystals at temperatures close to the critical temperature. For this goal, temperature and angle dependent…
The metallic state of high temperature cuprate superconductors is markedly different from that of textbook metals. The origin of this unconventional state, characterized by unusual and distinct temperature dependences in the transport…
We synthesized large superconducting single crystal Ca0.77La0.18Fe0.90As2 ('112' type) of 2 millimeter size. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements revealed that bright and dark stripes alternately spread on the surface of…
We review the empirical scenario emerging from the measured doping dependence of the transition temperature and the anisotropy parameter $% \gamma $ $=\xi _{ab}/\xi_{c}$, defined as the ratio of the correlation lengths parallel and…
While quasi-two-dimensional (layered) materials can be highly anisotropic, their asymptotic long-distance behavior generally reflects the properties of a fully three dimensional phase of matter. However, certain topologically ordered…
Size effects on vibrational modes in complex crystals remain largely unexplored, despite their importance in a variety of electronic and energy conversion technologies. Enabled by advances in a four-probe thermal transport measurement…
Considerable progress has been made over the last decade in understanding the phenomenological properties of the cuprate high-T$_{c}$ superconductors and in producing well characterized high quality materials. Nevertheless, the pairing…
The c-axis optical conductivity and d.c. resistivity are calculated within the t-J model assuming that the interlayer hopping is incoherent. Use is made of numerical results for spectral functions recently obtained with the…
We study the in-plane resistivity anisotropy in the spin-glass phase of the high-$T_{c}$ cuprates, on the basis of holes moving in a spiral spin background. This picture follows from analysis of the extended $t-J$ model with Coulomb…
Recently we had proposed a mechanism for the normal-state C-axis resistivity of the high-T$_c$ layered cuprates that involved blocking of the single-particle tunneling between the weakly coupled planes by strong intra-planar…
Understanding lattice dynamics and thermal transport in crystalline compounds with intrinsically low lattice thermal conductivity ($\kappa_L$) is crucial in condensed matter physics. In this work, we investigate the lattice thermal…
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…
We suggest that the high temperature superconductivity in cuprate compounds may emerge due to interaction between copper-oxygen layers mediated by in-plane plasmons. The strength of the interaction is determined by the c-axis geometry and…
The optical properties of single crystals of YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x} have been examined along the c axis above and below the critical temperature (T_c) for a wide range of oxygen dopings. The temperature dependence of the optically-determined…
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…
The effect of incoherent interlayer transport on the interlayer resistance of a layered metal is considered. We find that for both quasi-one-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional Fermi liquids the angular dependence of the magnetoresistance…
Measurements of the $c$-axis penetration depth $\lambda_c$ in the cuprates reveal a low-temperature $T$ dependence which is inconsistent with simple models of coupling between the CuO$_2$ layers. In this paper, we examine whether a model…
