Contemporary interface state models were tested using the barrier heights of laterally homogeneous ZnO Schottky contacts. A strong correlation was found between barrier height and metal Miedema electronegativity, indicating that interfacial chemical bonding may play an important role in the charge transfer at metal-Zn…

Superconductivity can be realized in Eu-containing pnictides by applying chemical (internal) and physical (external) pressure, the intrinsic physical mechanism of which attracts much attention in the studies of pnictide superconductors. Here we present the experimental evidence for the pressure-induced valence change…

An in-situ TEM nanowelding process via Joule heating was used to achieve superstrong CNT-carbide-metal contacts, in which all shells of a multiwalled CNT contact the tungsten wire through the intermediate tungsten carbide layer. A remarkably high tensile strength (5–15GPa) and ultralow resistance(<1 kΩ) were documente…

We discuss the dynamical current-current correlation function of the hexagonal lattice using a local current operator defined on a continuum-replica model of the original lattice model. In the Dirac approximation, the correlation function can be decomposed into a parallel and perpendicular contribution. We show that t…

It is shown that an electric field applied to $p$-doped graphane generates a dissipationless orbital momentum Hall current. In the clean limit the corresponding Hall conductivity is independent of the concentration of holes. The Hall effect is related to the $2\ensuremath{\pi}$-Berry phase accumulated when heavy and l…
