Fermi liquid behavior and colossal magnetoresistance in layered MoOCl2
A characteristic of a Fermi liquid is the T^2 dependence of its resistivity, sometimes referred to as the Baber law. However, for most metals, this behavior is only restricted to very low temperatures, usually below 20 K. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that for the single-crystal van der Waals layered material MoO...

Spinless composite fermions in an ultra-high quality strained Ge quantum well
We report on an observation of a fractional quantum Hall effect in an ultra-high quality two-dimensional hole gas hosted in a strained Ge quantum well. The Hall resistance reveals precisely quantized plateaus and vanishing longitudinal resistance at filling factors $\nu = 2/3, 4/3$ and $5/3$. From the temperature depen...

Tunable Negative Differential Resistance in Planer Graphene Superlattice Resonant Tunneling Diode
In this paper, we report on the controllable negative differential resistance (NDR) in a proposed planar graphene superlattice structure. High value of peak to valley ratio (PVR) is predicted. This is significant because of appearance of NDR with high PVR at low biases. Our finding is important since beside the other p...

Optical conductivity of granular aluminum films near the Mott metal-to-insulator transition
We report measurements of the energy gap of granular aluminum films by THz spectroscopy. We find that as the grains progressively decouple, the coupling ratio $2\Delta(0)/k_{B}T_{c}$ increases above the BCS weak coupling ratio $3.53$, and reaches values consistent with an approach to BCS-BEC crossover for the high resi...

Origin of the turn-on temperature behavior in WTe$_2$
A hallmark of materials with extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR) is the transformative 'turn-on' temperature behavior: when the applied magnetic field $H$ is above certain value, the resistivity versus temperature $\rho(T)$ curve shows a minimum at a field dependent temperature $T^*$, which has been interpreted as ...

Nanoscale imaging of He-ion irradiation effects on amorphous TaO$_x$ toward electroforming-free neuromorphic functions
Resistive switching in thin films has been widely studied in a broad range of materials. Yet the mechanisms behind electroresistive switching have been persistently difficult to decipher and control, in part due to their non-equilibrium nature. Here, we demonstrate new experimental approaches that can probe resistive s...

Large Thermopower in Metallic Oxides: Misfit Cobaltites and Mangano-Ruthenates
Two different kinds of metal transition oxides have been studied for their large thermopower values. The first one corresponds to the Tl-based misfit cobaltite which is a hole-doped metal. We demonstrate that the partial Bi-substitution for Tl in this phase induces an increase of the room temperature (RT) thermopower (...
