Thermoelectric generators, capable of directly converting heat into electricity, hold great
promise for tackling the ever-increasing energy sustainability issue. The thermoelectric …

Studies of the electromagnetic response of various classes of correlated electron materials
including transition-metal oxides, organic and molecular conductors, intermetallic …

Ten years ago, DM Rowe introduced the bestselling CRC Handbook of Thermoelectrics to
wide acclaim. Since then, increasing environmental concerns, desire for long-life electrical …

Kondo insulators are a particularly simple type of heavy electron material, where a filled
band of heavy quasiparticles gives rise to a narrow band insulator. Starting with the …

Band degeneracy is effective in optimizing the power factors of thermoelectric (TE) materials
by enhancing the Seebeck coefficients. In this study, we demonstrate this effect in model …

Abstract The Kondo insulator SmB6 has long been known to exhibit low-temperature
transport anomalies whose origin is of great interest. Here we uniquely access the surface …

This article reviews recent theoretical and experimental work on a new class of topological
material—topological Kondo insulators, which develop through the interplay of strong …

We study the transport properties of the Kondo insulator SmB 6 with a specialized
configuration designed to distinguish bulk-dominated conduction from surface-dominated …

We show that the rate for dark-matter–electron scattering in an arbitrary material is
determined by an experimentally measurable quantity, the complex dielectric function, for …

SmB6, a well-known Kondo insulator, exhibits a transport anomaly at low temperature. This
anomaly is usually attributed to states within the hybridization gap. Recent theoretical work …
