Using an organic massless Dirac fermion system, we found that massless Dirac fermions undergo a quantum phase transition without creating any mass gap even in the strong coupling regime.

Iron-based superconductor, Ba1-xRbxFe2As2, exhibits “strange metal” behavior—linear dependence of resistivity on temperature. It seems that hidden electronic nematic fluctuations play a greater role than the well-known antiferromagnetic fluctuations.

Based on the Kubo–Luttinger linear response theory, we discovered that the low-T Seebeck coefficient for Mott variable-range hopping in a d-dimensional system varies as S ∝ Td/(d+1), which is different from the conventional S ∝ T(d−1)/(d+1). In addition, the experimental data for S of CuCrTiS4 at low T are in excellent agreement with our prediction S ∝ T3/4 (d = 3).

“The energy level of an electron state increases as the number of nodes in its wave function increases.” The preceding statement, often found in textbooks, was challenged by our large-scale DFT (density-functional theory) calculations performed for the decavacancy in Si crystal.
