On universal butterfly and antisymmetric magnetoresistances
Butterfly magnetoresistance (BMR) and antisymmetric magnetoresistance (ASMR) are about a butterfly-cross curve and a curve with one peak and one valley when a magnetic field is swept up and down along a fixed direction. Other than the parallelogram-shaped magnetoresistance-curve (MR-curve) often observed in magnetic me...

Interplay between magnetism and superconductivity and appearance of a second superconducting transition in alpha-FeSe at high pressure
We synthesized tetragonal alpha-FeSe by melting a powder mixture of iron and selenium at high pressure. Subsequent annealing at normal pressure results in removing traces of hexagonal beta- FeSe, formation of a rather sharp transition to superconducting state at Tc ~ 7 K, and the appearance of a magnetic transition nea...

The contributions from Pr and Gd moments compensate each other at a specific temperature in the ordered state (below (T(c)). At high fields, the magnetic reorientation (with respect to the external field direction) of the Pr and Gd ...

Hall field-induced resistance oscillations in tilted magnetic fields
We have studied the effect of an in-plane magnetic field on Hall field-induced resistance oscillations in high mobility two-dimensional electron systems. We have found that the oscillation frequency depends only on the perpendicular component of the magnetic field but the oscillation amplitude decays exponentially with...

Positive speed for high-degree automaton groups
Mother groups are the basic building blocks for polynomial automaton groups. We show that, in contrast with mother groups of degree 0 or 1, any bounded, symmetric, generating random walk on the mother groups of degree at least 3 has positive speed. The proof is based on an analysis of resistance in fractal mother graph...

Thermo-Resistive Instability in Magnetar Crusts
We investigate a thermo-resistive instability in the outer crusts of magnetars wherein a perturbation in temperature increases ohmic heating. We show that magnetars of characteristic age {\tau}_{age} ~ 10^4 yr are unstable over timescales as short as days if strong current sheets are present in the outer crust. This in...

Non linear transport in drift-diffusion equations under magnetic field
We analyze numerically and analytically the non linear transport properties of a drift-diffusion equation in presence of a magnetic field and of a disorder potential. For a wide range of parameters this model exhibits a plateau where the drift velocity is almost independent on the applied electric field. This behavior ...

Strange metals at finite 't Hooft coupling
In this paper, we consider the AdS-Schwarzshild black hole in light-cone coordinates which exhibits non-relativistic z=2 Schrodinger symmetry. Then, we use the $AdS/CFT$ correspondence to investigate the effect of finite-coupling corrections to two important properties of the strange metals which are the Ohmic resistiv...

Microwave-induced resistance oscillations in tilted magnetic fields
We have studied the effect of an in-plane magnetic field on microwave-induced resistance oscillations in a high mobility two-dimensional electron system.

Exploiting negative differential resistance in monolayer graphene FETs for high voltage gains
Through self-consistent quantum transport simulations, we evaluate the RF performance of monolayer graphene FETs in the bias region of negative output differential resistance. We show that, compared to the region of quasi-saturation, a voltage gain larger than 10 can be obtained, at the cost of a decrease in the maximu...

Graphene membrane as a pressure gauge
Straining graphene results in the appearance of a pseudo-magnetic field which alters its local electronic properties. Applying a pressure difference between the two sides of the membrane causes it to bend/bulge resulting in a resistance change. We find that the resistance changes linearly with pressure for bubbles of s...
