Single crystal ZnO nanowires doped with indium are synthesized via the laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition method. The conductivity of the nanowires is measured at low temperatures in magnetic fields both perpendicular and parallel to the wire axes. A quantitative fit of our data is obtained, consistent with the theory of a quasi-one-dimensional metallic system with quantum corrections due to weak localization and electron-electron interactions. The anisotropy of the magneto-conductivity agrees with theory. The two quantum corrections are of approximately equal magnitude with respective temperature dependences of T^-1/3 and T^-1/2. The alternative model of quasi-two-dimensional surface conductivity is excluded by the absence of oscillations in the magneto-conductivity in parallel magnetic fields.

The effect of electron-electron interaction on the low-temperature conductivity of graphene is investigated experimentally. Unlike in other two-dimensional systems, the electron-electron interaction correction in graphene is sensitive to the details
of disorder. A new temperature regime of the interaction correction is observed where quantum interference is suppressed by intra-valley scattering. We determine the value of the interaction parameter, F_0 ~ -0.1, and show that its small value is due to the chiral nature of interacting electrons.
We present a unified theory of magnetic damping in itinerant electron ferromagnets at order $q^2$ including electron-electron interactions and disorder scattering. We show that the Gilbert damping coefficient can be expressed in terms of the spin con
ductivity, leading to a Matthiessen-type formula in which disorder and interaction contributions are additive. In a weak ferromagnet regime, electron-electron interactions lead to a strong enhancement of the Gilbert damping.
Quantum dots realized in InAs are versatile systems to study the effect of spin-orbit interaction on the spin coherence, as well as the possibility to manipulate single spins using an electric field. We present transport measurements on quantum dots
realized in InAs nanowires. Lithographically defined top-gates are used to locally deplete the nanowire and to form tunneling barriers. By using three gates, we can form either single quantum dots, or two quantum dots in series along the nanowire. Measurements of the stability diagrams for both cases show that this method is suitable for producing high quality quantum dots in InAs.
Graphene phonons are measured as a function of electron doping via the addition of potassium adatoms. In the low doping regime, the in-plane carbon G-peak hardens and narrows with increasing doping, analogous to the trend seen in graphene doped via t
he field-effect. At high dopings, beyond those accessible by the field-effect, the G-peak strongly softens and broadens. This is interpreted as a dynamic, non-adiabatic renormalization of the phonon self-energy. At dopings between the light and heavily doped regimes, we find a robust inhomogeneous phase where the potassium coverage is segregated into regions of high and low density. The phonon energies, linewidths and tunability are remarkably similar for 1-4 layer graphene, but significantly different to doped bulk graphite.
Much effort has been devoted to the electronic properties of relatively thick ZrTe5 crystals, focusing on their three-dimensional topological effects. Thin ZrTe5 crystals, on the other hand, were much less explored experimentally. Here we present det
ailed magnetotransport studies of few-layer ZrTe5 devices, in which electron-electron interactions and weak anti-localization are observed. The coexistence of the two effects manifests themselves in corroborating evidence presented in the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the resistance. Notably, the temperature-dependent phase coherence length extracted from weak anti-localization agrees with strong electron-electron scattering in the sample. Meanwhile, universal conductance fluctuations have temperature and gate voltage dependence that is similar to that of the phase coherence length. Lastly, all the transport properties in thin ZrTe5 crystals show strong two-dimensional characteristics. Our results provide new insight into the highly intricate properties of topological material ZrTe5.
