We report a highly unusual temperature dependence in the magnetoresistance of a weakly interacting high mobility 2D electron gas (2DEG) under a parallel magnetic field and when the current is perpendicular to the field. While the linear temperature dependence below 10 K and the exponential temperature dependence above 40 K agree with existing theory of electron-phonon scattering, a field induced resistivity saturation behaviour characterized by an almost complete suppression of the temperature dependence is observed from approximately 20 to 40 K, which is in sharp contrast to the phenomenology observed when the current is parallel to the field. Possible origins of this intriguing intermediate temperature phenomenon are discussed.

We have studied the transition from two to three dimensions in a low temperature weakly interacting $^6$Li Fermi gas. Below a critical atom number, $N_{2D}$, only the lowest transverse vibrational state of a highly anisotropic oblate trapping potenti al is occupied and the gas is two-dimensional. Above $N_{2D}$ the Fermi gas enters the quasi-2D regime where shell structure associated with the filling of individual transverse oscillator states is apparent. This dimensional crossover is demonstrated through measurements of the cloud size and aspect ratio versus atom number.
Resistivities of heavy-fermion insulators typically saturate below a characteristic temperature $T^*$. For some, metallic surface states, potentially from a non-trivial bulk topology, are a likely source of residual conduction. Here, we establish an alternative mechanism: At low temperature, in addition to the charge gap, the scattering rate turns into a relevant energy scale, invalidating the semiclassical Boltzmann picture. Finite lifetimes of intrinsic carriers limit conduction, impose the existence of a crossover $T^*$, and control - now on par with the gap - the quantum regime emerging below it. We showcase the mechanism with realistic many-body simulations and elucidate how the saturation regime of the Kondo insulator Ce$_3$Bi$_4$Pt$_3$, for which residual conduction is a bulk property, evolves under external pressure and varying disorder. Using a phenomenological formula we derived for the quantum regime, we also unriddle the ill-understood bulk conductivity of SmB$_6$ - demonstrating that our mechanism is widely applicable to correlated narrow-gap semiconductors.
Collective modes in two-dimensional electron fluids show an interesting response to a background carrier flow. Surface plasmons propagating on top of a flowing Fermi liquid acquire a non-reciprocal character manifest in a $pm k$ asymmetry of mode dis persion. The nonreciprocity arises due to Fermi surface polarization by the flow. The flow-induced interactions between quasiparticles make collective modes of the system uniquely sensitive to subtle motional Fermi-liquid effects. The flow-induced Doppler-type frequency shift of plasmon resonances, arising due to electron interactions, can strongly deviate from the classical value. This opens a possibility to directly probe motional Fermi-liquid effects in plasmonic near-field imaging experiments.
Non-Fermi liquid behaviour in single-crystalline U2Pt2In has been studied by means of resistivity experiments (I||c) under hydrostatic pressure (P<1.5 GPa). At ambient pressure the resistivity rho(T) follows a power law rho~T^alpha with alpha~0.5. Up on applying pressure alpha increases. For P>1 GPa a minimum develops in rho(T). A study of the field dependence of the minimum confirms its magnetic origin. The ratio c/a is proposed as the effective control parameter, rather than the unit cell volume.
We theoretically investigate a polarized dipolar Fermi gas in free expansion. The inter-particle dipolar interaction deforms phase-space distribution in trap and also in the expansion. We exactly predict the minimal quadrupole deformation in the expa nsion for the high-temperature Maxwell-Boltzmann and zero-temperature Thomas-Fermi gases in the Hartree-Fock and Landau-Vlasov approaches. In conclusion, we provide a proper approach to develop the time-of-flight method for the weakly-interacting dipolar Fermi gas and also reveal a scaling law associated with the Liouvilles theorem in the long-time behaviors of the both gases.
