The research team also found that these electron orbits can interact with the substrate on which the graphene is grown, creating energy gaps that affect how electron waves move through the multilayer ...

Cornell University researchers have demonstrated that acoustic sound waves can be used to control the motion of an electron as it orbits a lattice defect in a diamond, a technique that can potentially ...

Researchers have demonstrated that electron orbitals, not just spin, can serve as a practical lever for controlling magnetism in solid-state devices. A series of recent experiments and theoretical ...

No one will ever be able to see a purely mathematical construct such as a perfect sphere. But now, scientists using supercomputer simulations and atomic resolution microscopes have imaged the ...

Researchers propose a scheme to identify and weigh the quantum orbits in strong-field tunneling ionization. Electron motion in atoms and molecules is of fundamental importance to many physical, ...

Hanging around: this image shows where an electron is most likely to be found in an exciton. Yellow indicates high probability and blue low probability. The hole is located at the centre of the ...
