Mar 21, 2012 - Probing non-crystalline materials is important because even small variations in structure can greatly alter the electronic properties of a material, Miao noted. Fundamental areas of glass science such as structure and modeling of amorphous solids, vibrational states of disordered solids, electronic structure of glasses, amorphous chalcogenides, and phase-change materials. Oct 7, 2013 - Fortunately, advances in the fidelity and resolution of electronic structure calculations are beginning to change this trend [2]. May 1, 2014 - “We observed strong nonlinear optical resonances at the edges of a two-dimensional crystal of molybdenum disulfide” says Xiang Zhang, a faculty scientist with Berkeley Lab's Materials Sciences Division who led this study. Jul 9, 2013 - Ultrasoft X-ray emission spectroscopy (USXES) was used to investigate the electronic structures of FePt alloy included carbon nanocapsules (FePt@CNCs) and graphite nanosheets (GNSs). 4 days ago - XAS is a powerful, element-specific technique for determining the electronic structure of atoms and the geometric structure around them. Apr 27, 2014 - The quantum mechanical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) have been performed to study ground state structural and electronic properties of BeH2 and along with doping of two (BeH2 + 2H) and four (BeH2 + 4H) hydrogen We need materials like metal hydrides for various potential applications, that is, for hydrogen storage, in fuel cells and internal combustion engines, as electrodes for rechargeable batteries, and in energy conversion devices. €�These one-dimensional edge states are the result of electronic structure changes and may enable novel nanoelectronics and photonic devices. Apr 21, 2014 - Challenging quasiparticle self-consistent $G\phantom{\rule{0}{0ex}}W$ calculations expose the major effects of spin-orbit coupling on the optical spectra of these promising solar-cell materials. Dec 14, 2009 - Electronic structure of some organic, inorganic and hybrid materials. Oct 18, 2011 - NEW IMAGING TECHNOLOGY is giving scientists unprecedented views of the processes that affect the flow of electrons through materials. In one such experiment, a team at Cornell University's Laboratory By using the microscope for “Spectroscopic Imaging,” scientists were able to visualize what happens when they change the electronic structure of a “heavy fermion” compound made of uranium, ruthenium and silicon.
