By means of a specific heat (C) and electrical resistivity ([Formula: see text]) study, we give evidence of a pronounced Fermi liquid (FL) behavior with sizable mass renormalization, [Formula: see text], up to unusually high temperatures ∼70 K in the layered system (Cu2/3V1/3)V2S4. At low temperature, a marked upturn of both C and [Formula: see text] is suppressed by magnetic field, which suggests a picture of Kondo coupling between conduction electrons in the VS2 layers and impurity spins of the V3+ ions located between layers. This picture opens the possibility of controlling electronic correlations and the FL to non-FL crossover in simple layered materials. For instance, we envisage that the coupling between layers provided by the impurity spins may realize a two-channel Kondo state.

Electron affinity in semiconductors refers to the energy gap between the minimum of its conduction band and the vacuum level and it is a critical parameter in determining how easily a semiconductor can accept additional electrons.

Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
