Low-Temperature Resistivity Anomalies in Periodic Curved Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effects of periodic curvature on the the electrical resistivity of corrugated semiconductor films are theoretically considered. The presence of a curvature-induced potential affects the motion of electrons confined to the thin curved film, resulting in a significant resistivity enhancement at specific values of two geometric parameters: the amplitude and period of the surface corrugation. The maximal values of the two parameters in order to observe the corrugation-induced resistivity enhancement in actual experiments are quantified by employing existing material constants.

Evidence for exhaustion in the conductivity of the infinite-dimensional periodic Anderson model
Monte Carlo–maximum entropy calculations of the conductivity of the infinite-dimensional periodic Anderson model are presented. We show that the optical conductivity displays anomalies associated with the exhaustion of conduction-band states near the Fermi energy including a Drude weight, which rises with temperature, with weight transferred from a temperature and doping-dependent mid-infrared ...
متن کاملTuning the electrical resistivity of semiconductor thin films by nanoscale corrugation
The low-temperature electrical resistivity of corrugated semiconductor films is theoretically considered. Nanoscale corrugation enhances the electron-electron scattering contribution to the resistivity, resulting in a stepwise resistivity development with increasing corrugation amplitude. The enhanced electron scattering is attributed to the curvature-induced potential energy that affects the m...

This paper is an attempt to determine quasi-static thermal stresses in a thin elliptical plate which is subjected to transient temperature on the top face with zero temperature on the lower face and the homogeneous boundary condition of the third kind on the fixed elliptical curved surface. The solution to conductivity equation is elucidated by employing a classical method. The solution of stre...

High-k dielectric oxides are supposedly ideal gate-materials for ultra-high doping in graphene and other 2D-crystals. Here, we report a temperature-dependent electronic transport study on chemical vapor deposited-graphene gated with SrTiO₃ (STO) thin film substrate. At carrier densities away from charge neutrality point the temperature-dependent resistivity of our graphene samples on both STO a...
متن کاملAnalytical Analysis of The Dual-phase-lag Heat Transfer Equation in a Finite Slab with Periodic Surface Heat Flux (RESEARCH NOTE)
This work uses the dual-phase-lag (DPL) model of heat conduction to demonstrate the effect of temperature gradient relaxation time on the result of non-Fourier hyperbolic conduction in a finite slab subjected to a periodic thermal disturbance. DPL model combines the wave features of hyperbolic conduction with a diffusion-like feature of the evidence not captured by the hyperbolic case. For the ...
