A new formulation of the plasma resistivity that arises from the collisional momentum-transfer rate between electrons and ions is presented. The resistivity computed herein is shown to depend not only on the temperature and density but also…
The magnetization and anisotropic electrical transport properties have been measured in high quality Cu0.03TaS2 single crystal. A pronounced peak effect has been observed, indicating that the high quality and homogeneity are vital to peak…
We study the anisotropic in-plane optical conductivity of detwinned Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2 single crystals for x=0, 2.5% and 4.5% in a broad energy range (3 meV-5 eV) across their structural and magnetic transitions. For temperatures below the…
The propagation of acoustic or elastic waves in artificial crystals, including the case of phononic and sonic crystals, is inherently anisotropic. As is known from the theory of periodic composites, anisotropy is directly dictated by the…
We study numerically the form of the conductance distribution in the non-metallic regime for (1) weakly disordered systems which become insulating due to increase of the system length and (2) cubic d-dimensional systems, in which…
In contrast to metals with weak disorder, the resistivity of weakly-pinned charge density waves (CDWs) is not controlled by irrelevant processes relaxing momentum. Instead, the leading contribution is governed by incoherent, diffusive…
The hallmark of superconductivity is the rigidity of the quantum-mechanical phase of electrons, responsible for superfluid behavior and Meissner effect. The strength of the phase stiffness is set by the Josephson coupling, which is strongly…
The angle-dependent interlayer magnetoresistance of the layered organic metal $\alpha$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$KHg(SCN)$_4$ is found to undergo a dramatic change from the classical conventional behavior at low magnetic fields to an anomalous one at…
Recent studies demonstrated the violation of reciprocity in optical processes in low-symmetry magnetic crystals. In these crystals the speed of light can be different for counter-propagating beams. Correspondingly, they can show strong…
Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are commonly classified as quasi-two-dimensional materials, meaning that their electronic structure closely resembles that of an individual layer, which results in resistivity anisotropies…
The peculiarities in tunneling characteristics have been studied in the light of the controversy between s-wave and d-wave character of High $T_c$ superconductivity. We show that anisotropic s-wave gap has the same low voltage power law…
Dislocations, one-dimensional lattice imperfections, are common to technologically important materials such as III-V semiconductors, and adversely affect heat dissipation in e.g., nitride-based high-power electronic devices. For decades,…
We have measured the interlayer thermal conductivity of crystals of the organic semiconductor rubrene, using ac-calorimetry. Since ac-calorimetry is most commonly used for measurements of the heat capacity, we include a discussion of its…
Recent thermal conductivity measurements on $UPt_3$ single crystals by Lussier et al. indicate the existence of a strong b--c anisotropy in the superconducting state. We calculate the thermal conductivity in various unconventional candidate…
Spin textures are ubiquitous in antiferromagnets, yet their consequences for altermagnets remain largely unexplored. We show that smooth spatial variations of the N\'eel order act on itinerant electrons as emergent gauge fields, producing…
Resistivity measurements are widely exploited to uncover electronic excitations and phase transitions in metallic solids. While single crystals are preferably studied to explore crystalline anisotropies, these usually cancel out in…
We computed the phase diagram for a system of model anisotropic particles with six attractive patches in an octahedral arrangement. We chose to study this model for a relatively narrow value of the patch width where the lowest-energy…
Thermal conductivity is a fundamental material property but challenging to predict, with less than 5% out of about $10^5$ synthesized inorganic materials being documented. In this work, we extract the structural chemistry that governs…
Quasicrystals exhibit superconductivity under the unique interplay of long-range order and strong inhomogeneity, distinguishing them from both crystalline and amorphous systems. Understanding how this structural complexity affects…
What characterises a solid is its way to respond to external stresses. Ordered solids, such crystals, display an elastic regime followed by a plastic one, both well understood microscopically in terms of lattice distortion and dislocations.…
