EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Enhanced performance of joint cooling and energy production

O. Entin-Wohlman, Y. Imry, and A. Aharony

Phys. Rev. B 91, 054302 (2015) - Published 3 February, 2015

A three-terminal thermoelectric junction is studied theoretically and a counterintuitive result is obtained. The cooling efficiency is increased for configurations when not only one terminal is cooled but also electric power is generated.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Very large magnetoresistance in ${Fe}_{0.28} {TaS}_{2}$ single crystals

Will J. Hardy, Chih-Wei Chen, A. Marcinkova, Heng Ji, Jairo Sinova, D. Natelson, and E. Morosan

Phys. Rev. B 91, 054426 (2015) - Published 26 February, 2015

There is great interest in understanding the physics of magnetic ordering and electronic transport in materials of reduced dimensionality with strong spin-orbit coupling. This paper presents magnetotransport measurements of Fe $_{0.28}$ TaS $_{2}$ single crystals, which are found to exhibit very large magnetoresistance (MR) for magnetic fields along the easy axis. The authors believe that such a large MR arises from spin disorder scattering and propose to use this mechanism as a design principle for materials with large MR. Further tests are needed to fully rule out contributions from a more conventional anisotropic MR mechanism.
