We report on high temperature (T) studies of conductivity, s, of the monoclinic phase of NbS3 (NbS3-II). The compound is shown to be stable up to T~550 K. Threshold non-linear conductivity and Shapiro steps on the I e V curves can be seen up to TP0 z 450 e 475 K clearly demonstrating sliding of a charge- density wave (CDW). The feature in s(T) shows that TP0 is the temperature of the formation of this CDW. The charges condensed in this CDW show relatively high density and, at the same time, extremely low mobility. Their mobility appears low in the single-particle states as well, giving a plausible clue to the surprising dielectric-like temperature variation of s above TP0.

Radiation from rotational transitions of CO molecules in distant galaxies creates a chaotic background with an intensity reaching 1000 Jy/sr at a wavelength of approximately 1 mm. This background will pose a serious problem, when measuring spectral distortions of the cosmic microwave background, in particular, the mu-distortion, which presumably has an intensity of less than ...

This work presents a comprehensive investigation into the temperature-dependent thermally stimulated conductivity and photoconductivity of vacuum-annealed thin films based on core–shell CdSe/CdS nanoplatelets passivated with oleic acid ligands. Controlled thermal annealing under vacuum conditions leads to a substantial increase in both dark and photoinduced conductivity, which is primarily attributed to partial desorption of the ligands. ...

Superconducting heterostructures can host subgap states known as Andreev bound states. In topological superconducting systems, novel zero-energy Andreev states were discovered known as Majorana zero modes. Local Majorana zero modes serve as basic ingredients of topological quantum computations.
