Physicists have directly observed the electronic building blocks responsible for flat bands in quantum materials, confirming ...

When mobile charge carriers, also known as itinerant electrons, interact with the strong exchange magnetic fields associated ...

Scientists in Japan have uncovered a strange new behavior in “heavy” electrons — particles that act as if they carry far more mass than usual. These electrons were found to be entangled, sharing a ...

INTRODUCTION: Density functional theory (DFT) is a widely used method for calculating the electronic properties of materials. The method is based on the idea of approximating the many-electron wave ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to understand how the valence electrons within materials respond to light at ...

Controlled defects in single-layer graphene pinpoint a critical 20 nm spacing where quantum interference traps electrons and enhances thermoelectric performance at a sharp threshold. (Nanowerk ...
