A team partially replaced lithium in a lithium antimonide compound with the metal scandium. This creates specific gaps, so-called vacancies, in the crystal lattice of the conductor material. These ...

as good electrical conductors are generally also good conductors of heat. Scientists try to suppress heat transport through lattice vibrations “In solid matter, heat is transferred both by ...

The arrangement is known as a crystal lattice ... graphite is an example of a non-metal which is a good electrical conductor. The centre of most pencils contains graphite. You could sharpen ...
