Metal-insulator transitions

Nevill Mott
TLDR
In this article, a discussion is given of some aspects of the metal insulator transition and the status of the "minimum metallic conductivity" is discussed, and the concept is valid for liquids and in some, but not all, solid systems.
Abstract
A discussion is given of some aspects of the metal insulator transition. Particular attention is paid to the status of the “minimum metallic conductivity”. The concept is valid for liquids, and in some, but not all, solid systems.

Electron-energy-loss spectra and the structural stability of nickel oxide: An LSDA+U study

TL;DR: In this article, the authors improved the description of both electron energy loss spectra and parameters characterizing the structural stability of the material compared with local spin density functional theory by taking better account of electron correlations in the $3d$ shell of metal ions in nickel oxide.

Mobility engineering and a metal–insulator transition in monolayer MoS 2

TL;DR: Electrical transport measurements on MoS₂ FETs in different dielectric configurations are reported, showing clear evidence of the strong suppression of charged-impurity scattering in dual-gate devices with a top-gate dielectrics and a weaker than expected temperature dependence.

Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for spin diffusion or conduction in the "impurity band" is presented, which involves transport in a lattice which is in some sense random, and in them diffusion is expected to take place via quantum jumps between localized sites.

Coulomb gap and low temperature conductivity of disordered systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the Coulomb interaction between localized electrons is shown to create a soft gap in the density of states near the Fermi level, and the form of the density within the gap is discussed.

The Basis of the Electron Theory of Metals, with Special Reference to the Transition Metals

TL;DR: In this paper, the collective electron and London-Heitler models are not to be regarded as different approximations to the same exact wave function for solids in which, according to the former model, there is a partially filled zone of energy levels.
