Valence electrons with quantum properties are also expected to exhibit emergent phenomena, making these crystals essential for studying novel material functionalities. However, the extent to which ...

Using synchrotron infrared light and near-infrared/visible lasers without applying a magnetic field, we observed the response of valence electrons in the (C₂H₅)(CH₃)₃As[Pd(C₃S₅ ...

Researchers have built a deep-ultraviolet microscope to study hard-to-analyze materials like diamond, offering a new way to probe their electronic and thermal properties at the nanoscale. This ...

N-type semiconductors use dopant atoms from elements in group V, with five or more electrons in their valence shell. Readily available phosphorus is a common choice. The "spare" electron from each ...

Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors—such as diamond—are promising for next-generation electronics due to a larger energy gap ...

with its 47 protons and electrons, and a lone electron in the outermost or "valence" shell. Yet silver (Ag) is more reactive than gold, and for reasons that took a long while to figure out.

“Although a wide range of [superconductor] correlated phenomena have indeed been observed in the moiré TMDs, robust ...
