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 ...

Led by Zheng Ren, right, and Ming Yi, left, a new study on iron-tin thin films reshapes scientific understanding of kagome magnets. A discovery by Rice University physicists and collaborators is ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
