Researchers have taken atomic diffraction to a new level, revealing surprising behaviors in high-energy helium and hydrogen ...

While these materials hold many interesting properties, scientists have long wanted to probe thin 2D metals. Now, researchers ...

A fundamental goal of physics is to explain the broadest range of phenomena with the fewest underlying principles. Remarkably ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation, which relates to edge and screw dislocations in crystal lattices, can be recast in the same form as a basic mathematical formula that governs ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation links crystal defects to the same mathematical rules governing ...

It melts at 1410 C. The electronic configuration of the silicon atom is: (Ne)(3s) 2 (3p) 2, and the atomic radius is 0.132 nm. Silicon has the diamond cubic crystal structure with a lattice parameter ...
