Atomic-scale imaging reveals that chalcogen atoms play a crucial role in Cooper pairing in Fe-based superconductors, offering ...

In a paper recently published in Chinese Physics Letters, a research team from Peking University report their latest ...

Scientists have found a clever way to double the efficiency of thermoelectric materials — those that convert heat into ...

An international team has succeeded in producing new, efficient thermoelectric materials that could compete with state-of-the-art materials, offering greater stability and lower cost.

Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit ...

Zinc sulphide exists with two different crystal structures, the cubic zinc blend (top diagram) and the hexagonal Wurtzite (lower diagram). In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc ...

By fixing the conformation of these otherwise highly flexible molecules in the host material’s rigid crystal lattice, the X-ray structures of the molecules can be determined at atomic resolution.

A revolutionary solar material has hit 93.5% efficiency—rewriting the rules of solar power and challenging the dominance of ...

Crystal structure prediction seeks to identify the ... that map the atomic arrangement in a crystal lattice to its original positions. All crystals are classified into 230 distinct space groups.
