This work entitled "Metal-Insulator Transition and Emergent Gapped Phase in the Surface-Doped 2D Semiconductor 2H-MoTe 2 " was published in Physical Review Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 106602 ...

Metal-insulator transition (MIT) driven by many-body interactions is an important phenomenon in condensed matter physics. Exotic phases always emerge around the metal-insulator transition points ...

RuP acts like a metal and conducts electricity at room temperature. However, it was discovered in 2011 that when cooled below 0°C, its electrical resistance increases, and it becomes an insulator.

News Release 29-Nov-2022 Unveiling the mechanism of the metal-to-insulator transition in ruthenium phosphide suggests a new way of looking at solids Peer-Reviewed Publication Nagoya University ...

The metal-insulator transition in correlated materials is usually coupled to a symmetry-lowering structural phase transition. This coupling not only complicates the understanding of the basic ...

Researchers at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and other institutes recently carried out a study exploring the possibility that this metal-insulator transition could occur in the atomically thin ...

Likewise, Feng uses this metaphor to explain what happens when some metals become insulators as temperatures drop. "It's like winter time, in that people -- or the electrons -- stay home and don't ...

UPDATE: Hyun Tak Kim has put out news slides that describes a semiconductor and superconductor phase for LK99. He quoted his own paper on VO2 to explain that most researchers did not understand the ...
