Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Electric resistivity and magnetoresistance were measured on samples with disordered structure synthesized from pure C60 and C70 at pressures in the range 8 - 12.5 GPa and temperature 900 - 1500 K. Different type of behaviour were observed: semimetallic and semiconducting, depending on the particular short-range order of the structure.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Electrical resistivity and magnetoresistance were measured on samples with disordered structures synthesized from pure C60 and C70 at pressures in the range 8–12.5 GPa and temperatures of 900–1500 K. Different types of behaviour were observed: semimetallic, VRH and semiconducting, depending on the degree of disorder and the particular short-range order of the samples. A negative magnetoresistance was observed at T<10 K on samples with a semimetallic type of conductivity synthesized at 8 GPa pressure. The temperature dependence of resistivity in the sample with a disordered crystalline structure based on 3D-polymerized C60 molecules fits Mott's law for hopping conductivity. T3/2, T2 and T4 dependencies of conductivity are observed for samples with densities of 2.8 and 3.05 g/cm3 synthesized at a pressure of 12.5 GPa. The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the resistivity of cross-linked layered carbon structures obtained from C60 at P=8 GPa, T=1600 K was investigated up to 0.6 GPa at room temperature. An approximately linear decrease of resistivity was observed with a very small value of the derivative d ln ρ/dp=0.06 /GPa, which correlates with a very low compressibility of the material.

Electric resistance of single-walled carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressure
- 2001
-
In: Solid State Communications. - : Elsevier B.V.. - 0038-1098 .- 1879-2766. ; 118:1, s. 31-36

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The electric resistance of single-walled nanotube mats has been studied systematically under both ambient and high hydrostatic pressures up to 1.5 GPa. Both the temperature dependence of the resistance and the magnetoresistance indicate that electrical transport occurs by variable range hopping, apparently in 2D. We suggest that this unexpected dimensionality arises from a fractal network of tubes and bundles. Under hydrostatic pressure (HP) the resistance still shows 2D variable range hopping and decreases with increasing HP. An irreversible increase in localization length and DOS is induced below 0.5 GPa. The behavior is reversible and due to strong interaction of tubes from 0.5 GPa up to 1.05 GPa. These results indicate that 2D variable range hopping occurs within bundles.

Synthesis and characterization of single-walled nanotubes produced with Ce as catalyst

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We have studied the effect of using rare-earth elements C (typically +4 oxide state) and Eu (typically +2 oxide state) together with nanometer Ni as catalysts to synthesize SWNT in high yield by arc evaporation. A black collar deposit containing mainly SWNT was formed in the presence of Ce/Ni while only nanometer carbon particles were formed using Eu/Ni, as identified by SEM, TEM and Raman spectra. The Raman spectra of our SWNT mats show difference from spectra shown in the literature in a low frequency range, indicating that our mats contain chiral tubes. The temperature dependent resistance of SWNT mats was also measured. A semiconducting behaviour was observed with a negative dR/dT and no resistance minimum from 2 to 350 K. The resistance follows a 2D variable range hopping behaviour.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The general trend in the shift of electronic properties as the result of polymerization has been studied with the aid of temperature dependences of conductivity. Samples representing the pure rhombohedral phase exhibit great anisotropy in their electrical properties. The main features of the behaviour of these samples are: (i) in the z-direction the resistivity is of the order of several kOhm cm and decreases with temperature; (ii) in the x-y direction resistivity is less than 1 Ohm cm and shows a minimum at a certain temperature.

Pressure effects in granular La0.7Ca0.3-xSrxMnO3.
- 2002

In: Physica Status Solidi A, Applied Research vol. 189, issue 2. - : Wiley Interscience. ; , s. 281-285

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper discusses the effect of hydrostatic pressure up to 0.8 GPa on magnetic properties of manganites La0.7Ca0.3 - xSrxMnO3 (0 x 0.3, x = 0.03) and magnetoresistance data in an applied magnetic field of 5.0 T. Application of pressure enlarges the temperature range of the ferromagnetic phase. Curie temperature, TC, as a function of pressure and the temperature of resistance maximum, Tp, showed an anomaly for x = 0.15. The slope of pressure dependence of TC for x < 0.15 and x > 0.15 is higher than for x = 0.15. Dependence of temperature Tp on x consists of two curves: for x 0.15 and for x 0.15. There is a sharp bend on the Tp curve at x = 0.15. The structural phase transition from orthorhombic phase (x < 0.15) to rhombohedral one (x 0.15) corresponds to that concentration.

Ferromagnetic ground state in La0.5Ca0.5MnO3 thin films
- 1999
-
In: Europhysics letters. - : Institute of Physics (IOP). - 0295-5075 .- 1286-4854. ; 48:2, s. 228-232
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Resistivity and magnetisation measurements were done with bulk and thin-film samples of La0.05Ca0.05MnO3. Bulk samples showed an antiferromagnetic insulating ground state as expected for this composition, whereas thin films demonstrated a ferromagnetic metallic ground state. This effect is attributed to the film adhesion to the substrate which prevents the lattice distortions necessary for the charge and antiferromagnetic ordering that occur in the bulk samples.

Longitudinal and Hall resistivity in thin film superconductor
- 1999

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We associate both the longitudinal and Hall resistivity of a thin film superconductor YBCO near its transition temperature with vortex lattice melting. In a two dimensional Kosterlitz-Thouless transition there are two characteristic properties, the number of free dislocations and the dielectric function for the dislocation pairs. Using these two parameters, we are able to fit both the longitudinal and Hall resistivity as a function of temperature and magnetic field.
