We study the temperature dependence of thermoelectric transport properties of four FeSb2 nanocomposite samples with different grain sizes. The comparison of the single crystals and nanocomposites of varying grain size indicates the presence of substantial phonon drag effects in this system contributing to a large Seebeck coefficient at low temperature. As the grain size decreases, the increased phonon scattering at the grain boundaries leads to a suppression of the phonon-drag effect, resulting in a much smaller peak value of the Seebeck coefficient in the nanostructured bulk materials. As a consequence, the ZT values are not improved significantly even though the thermal conductivity is drastically reduced.

Valley Hall effect is an appearance of the valley current in the direction transverse to the electric current. We develop the microscopic theory of the valley Hall effect in two-dimensional semiconductors where the electrons are dragged by the phonon s or photons. We derive and analyze all relevant contributions to the valley current including the skew-scattering effects together with the anomalous contributions caused by the side-jumps and the anomalous velocity. The partial compensation of the anomalous contributions is studied in detail. The role of two-phonon and two-impurity scattering processes is analyzed. We also compare the valley Hall effect under the drag conditions and the valley Hall effect caused by the external static electric field.

The acoustic phonon-mediated drag-contribution to the drag current created in the ballistic transport regime in a one-dimensional nanowire by phonons generated by a current-carrying ballistic channel in a nearby nanowire is calculated. The threshold of the phonon-mediated drag current with respect to bias or gate voltage is predicted.

Given the paucity of single phase multiferroic materials (with large ferromagnetic moment), composite systems seem an attractive solution in the quest to realize magnetoelectric cou-pling between ferromagnetic and ferroelectric order parameters. Desp ite having antiferro-magnetic order, BiFeO3 (BFO) has nevertheless been a key material in this quest due to excel-lent ferroelectric properties at room temperature. We studied a superlattice composed of 8 repetitions of 6 unit cells of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) grown on 5 unit cells of BFO. Significant net uncompensated magnetization in BFO is demonstrated using polarized neutron reflectometry in an insulating superlattice. Remarkably, the magnetization enables magnetic field to change the dielectric properties of the superlattice, which we cite as an example of synthetic magnetoelectric coupling. Importantly, this controlled creation of magnetic moment in BFO suggests a much needed path forward for the design and implementation of integrated oxide devices for next generation magnetoelectric data storage platforms.

The response of composite Fermions to large wavevector scattering has been studied through phonon drag measurements. While the response retains qualitative features of the electron system at zero magnetic field, notable discrepancies develop as the s ystem is varied from a half-filled Landau level by changing density or field. These deviations, which appear to be inconsistent with the current picture of composite Fermions, are absent if half-filling is maintained while changing density. There remains, however, a clear deviation from the temperature dependence anticipated for 2k_F scattering.
We study the frictional drag in high mobility, strongly interacting GaAs bilayer hole systems in the vicinity of the filling factor $ u=1$ quantum Hall state (QHS), at the same fillings where the bilayer resistivity displays a reentrant insulating ph ase. Our measurements reveal a very large longitudinal drag resistivity ($rho^{D}_{xx}$) in this regime, exceeding 15 k$Omega/Box$ at filling factor $ u=1.15$. $rho^{D}_{xx}$ shows a weak temperature dependence and appears to saturate at a finite, large value at the lowest temperatures. Our observations are consistent with theoretical models positing a phase separation, e.g. puddles of $ u=1$ QHS embedded in a different state, when the system makes a transition from the coherent $ u=1$ QHS to the weakly coupled $ u=2$ QHS.
