Wurtzite-structured crystals, characterized by their hexagonal symmetry, are widely valued for their unique electronic and ...

Swinburne researchers have discovered unexpected and entirely new quantum behaviors that only occur in one-dimensional ...

Twisted molybdenum layers reveal hidden quantum states, offering insights into future quantum computing materials.

AFM is important in examining 2D materials because it can analyze mechanical, electrical, and topographical properties at the ...

The hexagonal close-packed layers (HCPLs ... stacking faults commonly associated with dynamic limitations during crystal growth. We further propose an explanation for this lattice distortion, building ...

Thanks to the crystal structure of diamonds, with carbon atoms arranged into a lattice-like structure, diamond is top of the hardness scale, which is why it is used to cutting and drilling, as well as ...

Research methods including X-ray scans, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and computer simulations proved that rubidium ions incorporated into the crystal lattice stabilized the material structure ...

These periodic crystals are termed rational approximants. Previously, we have used body-centered and primitive hypercubic lattices. (13) Here, we instead use a face-centered lattice. To explore ...

The answer lies miles beneath the Earth's surface, where diamonds are formed when intense heat and pressure force carbon atoms into rigid crystal lattice structures. However, this journey isn’t ...
