We report a study of magnetism and magnetic transitions of hexagonal ErMnO$_3$ single crystals by magnetization, specific heat and heat transport measurements. Magnetization data show that the $c$-axis magnetic field induces three magnetic transitions at 0.8, 12 and 28 T. The specific heat shows a peak at 2.2 K, which is due to a magnetic transition of Er$^{3+}$ moments. For low-$T$ thermal conductivity ($kappa$), a clear dip-like feature appears in $kappa(H)$ isotherm at 1--1.25 T for $H parallel ab$; while in the case of $H parallel c$, a step-like increase is observed at 0.5--0.8 T. The transition fields in $kappa(H)$ are in good agreement with those obtained from magnetization, and the anomaly of $kappa$ can be understood by a spin-phonon scattering scenario. The natures of magnetic structures and corresponding field-induced transitions at low temperatures are discussed.

We report the magnetic susceptibility, specific heat and dielectric constant on high purity polycrystalline samples of three hexagonal manganites: YMnO_3, LuMnO_3 and ScMnO_3. These materials can exhibit a ferroelectric transition at very high temper
atures (T_{FE} > 700K). At lower temperatures there is magnetic ordering of the frustrated Mn^{3+} spins (S=2) on a triangular Mn lattice (YMnO_3:T_N=71K; LuMnO$_3:T_N=90K and ScMnO_3:T_N=130K). The transition is characterized by a sharp kink in the magnetic susceptibility at T_N below which it continues to increase due to the frustration on the triangular lattice. The specific heat shows one clear continuous phase transition at T_N, which is independent of external magnetic field up to 9T with an entropy content as expected for Mn^{3+} ions. The temperature dependent dielectric constant displays a distinct anomaly at T_N.
Acceptor and donor doping is a standard for tailoring semiconductors. More recently, doping was adapted to optimize the behavior at ferroelectric domain walls. In contrast to more than a century of research on semiconductors, the impact of chemical s
ubstitutions on the local electronic response at domain walls is largely unexplored. Here, the hexagonal manganite ErMnO$_3$ is donor doped with Ti$^{4+}$. Density functional theory calculations show that Ti$^{4+}$ goes to the B-site, replacing Mn$^{3+}$. Scanning probe microscopy measurements confirm the robustness of the ferroelectric domain template. The electronic transport at both macro- and nanoscopic length scales is characterized. The measurements demonstrate the intrinsic nature of emergent domain wall currents and point towards Poole-Frenkel conductance as the dominant transport mechanism. Aside from the new insight into the electronic properties of hexagonal manganites, B-site doping adds an additional degree of freedom for tuning the domain wall functionality.
The transparent semiconductor In$_{2}$O$_{3}$ is a technologically important material. It combines optical transparency in the visible frequency range and sizeable electric conductivity. We present a study of thermal conductivity of In$_{2}$O$_{3}$ c
rystals and find that around 20 K, it peaks to a value as high as 5,000 WK$^{-1}$m$^{-1}$, comparable to the peak thermal conductivity in silicon and exceeded only by a handful of insulators. The amplitude of the peak drastically decreases in presence of a type of disorder, which does not simply correlate with the density of mobile electrons. Annealing enhances the ceiling of the phonon mean free path. Samples with the highest thermal conductivity are those annealed in the presence of hydrogen. Above 100 K, thermal conductivity becomes sample independent. In this intrinsic regime, dominated by phonon-phonon scattering, the magnitude of thermal diffusivity, $D$ becomes comparable to many other oxides, and its temperature dependence evolves towards $T^{-1}$. The ratio of $D$ to the square of sound velocity yields a scattering time which obeys the expected scaling with the Planckian time.
Two-dimensional materials are characterised by a number of unique physical properties which can potentially make them useful to a wide diversity of applications. In particular, the large thermal conductivity of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride ha
s already been acknowledged and these materials have been suggested as novel core materials for thermal management in electronics. However, it was not clear if mass produced flakes of hexagonal boron nitride would allow one to achieve an industrially-relevant value of thermal conductivity. Here we demonstrate that laminates of hexagonal boron nitride exhibit thermal conductivity of up to 20 W/mK, which is significantly larger than that currently used in thermal management. We also show that the thermal conductivity of laminates increases with the increasing volumetric mass density, which creates a way of fine-tuning its thermal properties.
Thermal conductivity is a fundamental material property but challenging to predict, with less than 5% out of about $10^5$ synthesized inorganic materials being documented. In this work, we extract the structural chemistry that governs lattice thermal
conductivity, by combining graph neural networks and random forest approaches. We show that both mean and variation of unit-cell configurational properties, such as atomic volume and bond length, are the most important features, followed by mass and elemental electronegativity. We chart the structural chemistry of lattice thermal conductivity into extended van-Arkel triangles, and predict the thermal conductivity of all known inorganic materials in the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. For the latter, we develop a transfer learning framework extendable for other applications.
