Temperature dependent transport measurements on ultrathin antiferromagnetic Mn films reveal a heretofore unknown non-universal weak localization correction to the conductivity which extends to disorder strengths greater than 100 k$Omega$ per square. The inelastic scattering of electrons off of gapped antiferromagnetic spin waves gives rise to an inelastic scattering length which is short enough to place the system in the 3d regime. The extracted fitting parameters provide estimates of the energy gap ($Delta = 16$ K) and exchange energy ($bar{J} = 320$ K).

Thin films of topological insulators (TI) attract large attention because of expected topological effects from the inter-surface hybridization of Dirac points. However, these effects may be depleted by unexpectedly large energy smearing $Gamma$ of su
rface Dirac points by the random potential of abundant Coulomb impurities. We show that in a typical TI film with large dielectric constant $sim 50$ sandwiched between two low dielectric constant layers, the Rytova-Chaplik-Entin-Keldysh modification of the Coulomb potential of a charge impurity allows a larger number of the film impurities to contribute to $Gamma$. As a result, $Gamma$ is large and independent of the TI film thickness $d$ for $d > 5$ nm. In thinner films $Gamma$ grows with decreasing $d$ due to reduction of screening by the hybridization gap. We study the surface conductivity away from the neutrality point and at the neutrality point. In the latter case, we find the maximum TI film thickness at which the hybridization gap is still able to make a TI film insulating and allow observation of the quantum spin Hall effect, $d_{max} sim 7$ nm.
We report low-temperature measurements of current-voltage characteristics for highly conductive Nb/Al-AlOx-Nb junctions with thicknesses of the Al interlayer ranging from 40 to 150 nm and ultra-thin barriers formed by diffusive oxidation of the Al su
rface. In the superconducting state these devices have revealed a strong subgap current leakage. Analyzing Cooper-pair and quasiparticle currents across the devices, we conclude that the strong suppression of the subgap resistance comparing with conventional tunnel junctions originates from a universal bimodal distribution of transparencies across the Al-oxide barrier proposed earlier by Schep and Bauer. We suggest a simple physical explanation of its source in the nanometer-thick oxide films relating it to strong local barrier-height fluctuations which are generated by oxygen vacancies in thin aluminum oxide tunnel barriers formed by thermal oxidation.
Motivated by the ever-improving performance of deep learning techniques, we design a mixed input convolutional neural network approach to predict transport properties in deformed nanoscale materials using a height map of deformations (from scanning p
robe information) as input. We employ our approach to study electrical transport in a graphene nanoribbon deformed by a number of randomly positioned nano-bubbles. Our network is able to make conductance predictions valid to an average error of 4.3%. We demonstrate that such low average errors are achieved by including additional inputs like energy in a highly redundant fashion, which allows predictions that are 30-40% more accurate than conventional architectures. We demonstrate that the same method can learn to predict the valley-resolved conductance, with success specifically in identifying the energy at which inter-valley scattering becomes prominent. We demonstrate the robustness of the approach by testing the pre-trained network on samples with deformations differing in number and shape from the training data. We employ a graph theoretical analysis of the structure and outputs of the network and conclude that a tight-binding Hamiltonian is effectively encoded in the first layer of the network. We confirm our graph theoretical analysis numerically for different hopping processes in a trained network and find the result to be accurate within an error of 1%. Our approach contributes a new theoretical understanding and a refined methodology to the application of deep learning for the determination transport properties based on real-space disorder information.
We have investigated the magnetic and magnetotransport properties of Ba$_2$FeMoO$_6$ thin films produced by pulsed laser deposition from optimized bulk material. The films are comprised of grains of crystalline Ba$_2$FeMoO$_6$ with a disordered grain
boundary region that lowers the net saturation magnetization of the film and prevents full magnetic alignment below a Curie temperature $T_C$$sim$305 K. Magnetotransport measurements point to the Ba$_2$FeMoO$_6$ grains retaining the high spin polarization of a half-metal up to $T_C$, while the grain boundaries greatly reduce the spin polarization of the intergrain electrical current due to spin-flip scattering. Our results show that a strong spin polarization of the electronic charge carriers is present even in Ba$_2$FeMoO$_6$ films that do not show the ideal bulk magnetic character.
Using the random matrix theory, we investigate the ensemble statistics of edge transport of a quantum spin Hall insulator with multiple edge states in the presence of quenched disorder. Dorokhov-Mello-Pereyra-Kumar equation applicable for such a syst
em is established. It is found that a two-dimensional quantum spin Hall insulator is effectively a new type of one-dimensional (1D) quantum conductor with the different ensemble statistics from that of the ordinary 1D quantum conductor or the insulator with an even number of Kramers edge pairs. The ensemble statistics provides a physical manifestation of the Z2-classification for the time-reversal invariant insulators.
