When a liquid metal cools and turns into a solid, its atoms come together to form crystals. The structure of these crystals is not perfect. Sometimes an extra layer of atoms squeezes between other ...
A new method called vdW squeezing enables the creation of stable, atomically thin 2D metals, opening doors to advanced ...
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are organic-inorganic hybrid crystalline porous materials that consist of a regular array of positively charged metal ions surrounded by organic 'linker' molecules. The ...
Crystal field theory makes predictions about how a transition metal ion’s structure is affected by the other atoms surrounding it.
For decades, researchers have explored how electrons behave in quantum materials. Under certain conditions, electrons ...
POSTECH and University of Montpellier researchers demonstrate wafer-scale AA-stacked hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) growth.
