MIT physicists have captured the first images of individual atoms freely interacting in space— “free-range” particles never ...

The electronic structure for lithium is written as a list of numbers separated by commas is 2,1. This shows that lithium atoms have three electrons, two in the first shell and one in the second shell.

Development of new theoretical and computational methods for the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, and solids, with particular emphasis on the Density-Functional Theory (DFT) of electronic ...

A silver single-atom chain demonstrates atomic-scale strain sensing and piezoresistive effects, advancing nanotechnology and ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials ... diffraction pattern that provides information about the arrangement of atoms within the ...

Atoms inside the material follow a fixed arrangement, giving rise to the characteristic shapes of crystals. On the surface, ...

This interaction is determined largely by the electronic structure of atoms and molecules; photon absorption or emission is associated with an electron moving from one energy level to another.

Single metal atoms in transition metal-nitrogen-carbon catalysts adapt their structure and electronic configuration during electrochemical reactions, enhancing CO 2 conversion efficiency.

In a paper recently published in Chinese Physics Letters, a research team from Peking University report their latest ...
