The Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity of individual chromium disilicide nanowires were characterized using a suspended microdevice and correlated with the crystal structure and growth direction obtained by transmission electron microscopy on the same nanowires. The obtained thermoelectric figure of merit of the nanowires was comparable to the bulk values. We...

Graphene produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is polycrystalline, and scattering of charge carriers at grain boundaries (GBs) could degrade its performance relative to exfoliated, single-crystal graphene. However, the electrical properties of GBs have so far been addressed indirectly without simultaneous knowledge of their locations and structures. We present electrical measurements on i...

The numerical analysis of electrical properties involved in transport mechanism such as carrier concentration, carrier mobility, carrier effective mass, electrical resistivity and electrical conductivity for some rare earth chalcogenides is discussed. The formulae are derived and used to obtain numerical values of these electrical parameters, which are useful to describe the electrical behavior...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled "High thermoelectric performance in pseudo quaternary compounds of (PbTe)0.95-x (PbSe)x(PbS)0.05 by simultaneous band convergence and nano precipitation" (Ginting et al., 2017) [1]. We measured electrical and thermal transport properties such as temperature-dependent Hall carrier density nH , Hall mobility μH , ther...

We develop a theory for density, disorder, and temperature-dependent electrical conductivity of bilayer graphene in the presence of long-range charged impurity scattering and short-range defect scattering, establishing that both contribute significantly to determining bilayer transport properties. We find that although strong screening properties of bilayer graphene lead to qualitative differen...

The Hall conductivity in the magnetic-eld-induced spin-density-wave (FISDW) state of the quasi-one-dimensional organic conductors (TMTSF) 2 X at a nite temperature is calculated. The temperature dependence of the Hall conductivity is found to be the same as the temperature dependence of the Frr ohlich current of a regular charge/spin-density wave. Predicted dependence xy (T) can be veriied expe...

A tight binding parameterization of the band structure, along with a mean field treatment of Hund, electron-electron, and electron-lattice couplings, is used to obtain the full optical conductivity tensor of LaMnO3 as a function of temperature. We predict striking changes with temperature in the functional form and magnitude of the optical absorption. Comparison of our results to data will dete...

For in situ measurements of local electrical conductivity of well defined crystal surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum, we have developed microscopic four-point probes with a probe spacing of several micrometres, installed in a scanningelectron-microscope/electron-diffraction chamber. The probe is precisely positioned on targeted areas of the sample surface by using piezoactuators. This apparatus enabl...
