The team's investigation also revealed that the insulator-to-metal transition was driven by a nontrivial percolation effect, a result of the charge transfer at the interface.

The metal-insulator properties were observed throughout the interior of the SmB6. Other materials which behave both as a conductor and an insulator are sandwich-like structures, where the surface ...

An exotic metal-insulator transition in a surface-doped transition metal dichalcogenide Metal-insulator transition (MIT) driven by many-body interactions is an important phenomenon in condensed ...

Diamond is an electrical insulator, but maybe not always. A new study calculated that deforming diamond nano-needles would change their conductivity from an insulator to a semiconductor to a ...

The conducting state, also known as an excited state, occurs when some electrons jump up to the next electron orbital, which is connected across the material like a metal. Typically, Si—O—Si bond ...

Researchers have discovered a material that can switch between an insulator and a conductor freely, even at room temperature. The material, a compound of manganese and sulfide (MnS2), starts off ...
