On the vanishing resistivity limit and the magnetic boundary-layers for one-dimensional compressible magnetohydrodynamics
We consider an initial-boundary value problem for the one-dimensional equations of compressible isentropic viscous and non-resistive magnetohydrodynamic flows. The global well-posedness of strong solutions with general large data is established. Moreover, the vanishing resistivity limit is justified and the thickness o...

Thermal resistance of GaN/AlN graded interfaces
Compositionally graded interfaces in power electronic devices eliminate dislocations, but they can also decrease thermal conduction, leading to overheating. We quantify the thermal resistances of GaN/AlN graded interfaces of varying thickness using ab initio Green's functions, and compare them with the abrupt interface...

2D MXene Electrochemical Transistors
In the past two decades another transistor based on conducting polymers, called the organic electrochemical transistor (ECT) was shown and largely studied. The main difference between organic ECTs and FETs is the mode and extent of channel doping: while in FETs the channel only has surface doping through dipoles, the m...

Nonlinear Insulator in Complex Oxides
The insulating state is one of the most basic electronic phases in condensed matter. This state is characterised by an energy gap for electronic excitations that makes an insulator electrically inert at low energy. However, for complex oxides, the very concept of an insulator must be re-examined. Complex oxides behave ...

CeFe$_2$Al$_{10}$: a Correlated Metal with a Fermi Surface Exhibiting Nonmetallic Conduction
Metals can be defined as materials with a Fermi surface or as materials exhibiting metallic conduction (i.e., $\mathrm{d} \rho / \mathrm{d}T > 0$). Usually, these definitions both hold at low temperatures, such as liquid-helium temperatures, as the Fermi energy is sufficiently larger than the thermal energy. However, t...
