Phonon-engineered Nb film as a Mott-insulating tunnel-junction network
Herein, phonon engineering is applied to a metal. Suppressed phonon branches are expected to enhance electron–phonon interactions in metals. Independent resistance and magnetization measurements have confirmed the Mott transition, which has never been observed in pure, undoped metals. By repeatedly...
