The work reports a comprehensive study of the Seebeck coefficient, electrical resistivity and heat capacity of CuCrS2 in a wide temperature range of 100–740 K. It was shown that the value of the Seebeck coefficient is significantly affected by the sample treatment procedure. The order-to-disorder (ODT) phase transition was found to cause a metal-insulator transition (MIT). It was established that the ODT diminishes the Seebeck coefficient at high temperatures (T > 700 K). The DFT calculations of the CuCrS2 electronic structure showed that the localization of copper atoms in octahedral sites makes the band gap vanish due to the MIT. The decrease of CuCrS2 electrical resistivity in the ODT temperature region corresponds to the MIT.

A tight-binding model is formulated for the calculation of the electronic structure of a double strand of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The theory is applied to DNA with a particular structure such as the ladder and decorated ladder structures. It is found that there is a novel type of metal–insulator transitions due to the hopping anisotropy of the system. A metal-semimetal-semiconductor transition is found in the former and an effective semiconductor-metal transition at finite temperature in the latter, as the effect of base paring between two strands of DNA is increased. The latter mechanism may be responsible for explaining the Meade and Kayyem's recent observation.

Using ultraviolet-infrared spectroscopy and first principles calculations, it is revealed that changes in the orbital structure can regulate the W-doped VO2 phase transition temperature.
