Magnetoresistance signature of two-dimensional electronic states in Co$_3$Sn$_2$S$_2$
Two-dimensional (2D) Dirac bands and flat bands are characteristics of a kagome lattice. However, experimental studies on their electrical transport are few, because three-dimensional (3D) bulk bands of kagome materials, consisting of stacked 2D kagome layers, dominate the transport. We report a magnetoresistance (MR) ...

Ideal isotropic auxetic networks from random networks
Auxetic materials are characterized by a negative Poisson's ratio, $\mathrm{\nu}$. As the Poisson's ratio becomes negative and approaches the lower isotropic mechanical limit of $\mathrm{\nu = -1}$, materials show enhanced resistance to impact and shear, making them suitable for applications ranging from robotics to im...

To the problem of electron-phonon interaction and "d-wave pairing" in high-Tc oxides
It is supported a recent proposal by Maksimov that electron-phonon interaction (EPI) (Gruneisen-Bloch formulae) determines the linearity of temperature dependence of resistivity for both HTSC-cuprates and most of metals at T near above 0.2 of their characteristic Debye temperature (normal state for HTSC). However, it i...
