Conductivity Cusp in a Disordered Metal
نویسندگان
چکیده
true for the study of localization in one dimension, for which the T ' dependence of the resist3nce predicted by Thouless remains to be observed. Copper wires, with thicknesses of 100 A, widths of 1 pm, and lengths of 1 cm would seem to be well suited for that purpose. We thank the Belgian Interuniversitair Instituut voor Kernwetenschappen for financial support, and the Nuclear Research Center, Mol, for technical assistance. We also acknowledge discussions with Professor A. Qilabert, University of Nice. One of us (L.V.d.d.) is a Research Fellow of the Belgian Interuniversitair Instituut voor Ke rnwetenschappen.

Finite-temperature conductivity and magnetoconductivity of topological insulators.
The electronic transport experiments on topological insulators exhibit a dilemma. A negative cusp in magnetoconductivity is widely believed as a quantum transport signature of the topological surface states, which are immune from localization and exhibit the weak antilocalization. However, the measured conductivity drops logarithmically when lowering temperature, showing a typical feature of th...
متن کامل0 M ay 1 99 8 Metal - Insulator Transition of Disordered Interacting Electrons
We calculate the corrections to the conductivity and compressibility of a disordered metal when the mean free path is smaller than the screening length. Such a condition is shown to be realized for low densities and large disorder. Analysis of the stability of the metallic state reveals a transition to the insulating state in two-dimensions.
متن کاملElectronic Transmission Wave Function of Disordered Graphene by Direct Method and Green's Function Method
We describe how to obtain electronic transport properties of disordered graphene, including the tight binding model and nearest neighbor hopping. We present a new method for computing, electronic transport wave function and Greens function of the disordered Graphene. In this method, based on the small rectangular approximation, break up the potential barriers in to small parts. Then using the f...
متن کاملDynamic localization in two low-dimensional synthetic semiconductors
The anomalous temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity (In(a) o(T-~/~) of the low-dimensional synthetic semiconductors (St4N)[Ni(dmit)2] and (mt4N)0.5[Pd(dmit)2] is shown to be a consequence of the thermal vibration of the anions which makes the systems dynamically disordered. For the Ni-compound, the conduction is determined primarily by the number of available carriers. The Pd-co...
متن کاملScaling at the Energy-driven Metal-Insulator Transition and the Thermoelectric Power
The electronic properties of disordered systems at the Anderson metal-insulator transition (MIT) have been the subject of intense study for several decades. Thermoelectric properties at the MIT, such as thermopower and thermal conductivity, however, have been relatively neglected. Using the recursive Green’s function method and the Chester-Thellung-Kubo-Greenwood formalism, we calculate numeric...
