The tunneling conductance in topological insulator (TI) ferromagnet/p-wave superconductor (FM/pS) junction is studied based on the Blonder-Tinkham-Klapwijk (BTK) theory. The Fermi energy mismatch between FM and pS as well as the finite quasiparticle lifetime are considered. Three kinds of pairings p(x), p(y), and p(x)+ip(y)-waves for pS are chosen. It is found that the spectrum strongly depend on the magnetic gap, the gate potential, the quasiparticle lifetime as well as the type of the pair potential symmetry. The pair potential symmetry drastically affects the formation of the zero-energy bound states dependent on the magneto effect or the Fermi energy mismatch effect. The finite quasiparticle lifetime effect can suppress the Andreev resonant scattering process at eV = Delta(0) and smear the dips in the conductance. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Lattice thermal conductivity and thermoelectric properties of two-dimensional honeycomb monolayer of CdO

Mahboubeh Yeganeh, Davoud Vahedi Fakhrabad

Summary: The lattice thermal conductivity of CdO monolayer was investigated, and it was found to be lower than that of bulk CdO due to the lower phonon lifetime and phonon group velocity. As a result, the monolayer exhibits higher thermoelectric efficiency compared to the bulk counterpart.

Unified EOS incorporating the finite strain theory for explaining thermo elastic properties of high temperature superconductors, nanomaterials and bulk metallic glasses

Shivam Srivastava, Prachi Singh, Anjani K. Pandey, Chandra K. Dixit

Summary: In this research paper, a novel equation of state (EOS) based on finite strain theories is proposed for predicting the thermo elastic properties of various materials. Extensive analysis and comparison with existing models and experimental data demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed EOS in capturing the unique thermodynamic behavior of nanomaterials, bulk metallic glasses, and superconductors. This research is of great importance in the fields of materials science, nanotechnology, and condensed matter physics.

Isostructural phase transition in Tb2Ti2O7 under pressure and temperature: Insights from synchrotron X-ray diffraction

Subrata Das, Sanjoy Kr Mahatha, Konstantin Glazyrin, R. Ganesan, Suja Elizabeth, Tirthankar Chakraborty

Summary: In this study, we investigated the structural evolution of Tb2Ti2O7 under external pressure and temperature, and confirmed the occurrence of an isostructural phase transition beyond 10 GPa pressure. This transition leads to changes in lattice parameters and mechanical properties, which can be understood in terms of localized rearrangement of atoms.

Superconductivity of metallic graphene

Hamze Mousavi

Summary: It has been found that undoped graphene sheet has zero states at the Fermi energy level, making it difficult for Cooper pairing to occur in the superconductive state. However, T-graphene, with physical properties similar to graphene, exhibits metallic behavior and has available electron states near the Fermi level. The gap equation for the s-wave superconductive state is derived based on the attractive Hubbard model and the Bogoliubov de Gennes equation for this two-dimensional metallic system. It is found that a nonzero critical temperature, τ, exists for different levels of electron-electron interaction, ǫ. τ has higher values when the system has electronic half band-filling, but decreases when the system does not have half band-filling. However, τ vanishes when ǫ becomes small enough near the band edges.
