Book Description
This dissertation demonstrates the behavior of the electronic transport properties in the presence of a temperature gradient in disordered systems near the metal-insulator transition. In particular, we first determine the d.c. conductivity, the thermopower, the thermal conductivity, the Lorenz number, the figure of merit, and the specific heat of a three-dimensional Anderson model of localization by two phenomenological approaches. Then we also compute the d.c. conductivity, the localization length and the Peltier coefficient in one dimension by a new microscopic approach based on the recursive Green's functions method. A fully analytic study is difficult, if not impossible, due to the problem of treating the intrinsic disorder in the model, as well as, incorporating a temperature gradient in the Hamiltonian. Therefore, we resort to various numerical methods to investigate the problem.

Pages : 529
Book Description
This volume and its two companion volumes, entitled Tetrahedrally-Bonded Amorphous Semiconductors and Physics of Disordered Materials, are our way of paying special tribute to Sir Nevill Mott and to express our heartfelt wishes to him on the occasion of his eightieth birthday. Sir Nevill has set the highest standards as a physicist, teacher, and scientific leader. Our feelings for him include not only the respect and admiration due a great scientist, but also a deep affection for a great human being, who possesses a rare combination of outstanding personal qualities. We thank him for enriching our lives, and we shall forever carry cherished memories of this noble man. Scientists best express their thanks by contributing their thoughts and observations to a Festschrift. This one honoring Sir Nevill fills three volumes, with literally hundreds of authors meeting a strict deadline. The fact that contributions poured in from all parts of the world attests to the international cohesion of our scientific community. It is a tribute to Sir Nevill's stand for peace and understanding, transcending national borders. The editors wish to express their gratitude to Ghazaleh Koefod for her diligence and expertise in deciphering and typing many of the papers, as well as helping in numerous other ways. The blame for the errors that remain belongs to the editors.

Metal-Insulator Transition in Two-Dimensional Electron Systems
Author: Svetlana Anisimova
Publisher: LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
ISBN: 9783838369402
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
The interplay between strong electron-electron interactions and disorder has been a long-standing question in condensed matter physics. The discovery of the metal-insulator transition (MIT) in two-dimensional (2D) electron systems challenged one of the most influential theories of the last century which stated that "there is no true metallic state in 2D". However, the scaling theory of localization did not account for interactions between electrons. This book provides recent thermodynamic and transport experimental findings which indicate that MIT in 2D can be considered as a quantum phase transition. In the ballistic regime, strong interactions between carriers lead to Pauli spin susceptibility growing critically at low electron densities. Such behavior is characteristic in the close vicinity of a phase transition. In the immediate vicinity of the MIT, both the resistance and the effective interactions exhibit a fan-like spread as the MIT is crossed. A resistance-interaction flow diagram clearly reveals a quantum critical point. The book should be especially useful to graduate students, postdoctoral researches, or scientists working in the field of mesoscopic physics.
