In this review, we discuss the results of recent experimental studies of the low-temperature
electron dephasing time (τ ϕ) in metal and semiconductor mesoscopic structures. A major …

The discovery of hot-electron phenomena in a thin superconducting film in the last century
was followed by numerous experimental studies of its appearance in different materials …

In this paper we present the results of a systematic study on the magnetic field penetration
depth of superconducting niobium thin films. The films of thicknesses ranging from 8 to 300 …

We investigate transport through hybrid structures consisting of two normal metal leads
connected via tunnel barriers to one common superconducting electrode. We find clear …

Employing the Keldysh diagram technique, we calculate the electron-phonon energy
relaxation rate in a conductor with the vibrating and static δ-correlated random electron …

Single crystals of the perovskite-type 3 d 1 metallic alloy system Ca 1− x Sr x VO 3 were
synthesized in order to investigate metallic properties near the Mott transition. The …

This paper is intended to demonstrate that there is no need to revise the existing theory of
the transport properties of disordered conductors in the so-called weak localization regime …

The fascinating electronic properties of the family of layered organic molecular crystals
kappa-(BEDT-TTF) 2X where X is an anion (eg, X= I3, Cu [N (CN) 2] Br, Cu (SCN) 2) are …

We study the reset dynamics of niobium (Nb) superconducting nanowire single-photon
detectors (SNSPDs) using experimental measurements and numerical simulations. The …

Inelastic electron scattering at the interface between a conducting film and an insulating
substrate provides a new channel for energy transfer from the film electrons to the substrate …
