Establishing a new QM/MM design principle based on electronic-state responses

The approach enables objective and automatic determination of the quantum-mechanical region based on electronic-state changes ...

Chiral phonons create orbital current via their own magnetism

In a new study, an international group of researchers has found that chiral phonons can create orbital current without ...

The use of Rich and Suter diagrams to explain the electron configurations of transition elements

Rich and Suter diagrams are a very useful tool to explain the electron configurations of all transition elements, and in particular, the s 1 and s 0 configurations of the elements Cr, Cu, Nb, Mo, Ru, ...

Universal emission intermittency in quantum dots, nanorods and nanowires

Few problems of early quantum mechanics remain unsolved today. Fluorescence intermittency is one exception. At the dawn of modern quantum mechanics, Niels Bohr predicted ‘quantum jumps’ of electrons ...
