This work was inspired by a previous finding reported by the researchers, namely the formation of 'defect columns' obtained by introducing thiocyanate ion (SCN −) into the crystal lattice of ...

A new study published in Nature Communications April 7 could reshape the future of magnetic and electronic technology.

One way of creating a time crystal is to knock some of the carbon atoms out of the crystal lattice of diamond, creating what is known as a nitrogen-vacancy center, which is a neighboring nitrogen atom ...

The experimental arrangement is such that the intensity ... The face of the target is cut parallel to a set of {111}-planes of the crystal lattice, and etching by vaporisation has been employed ...

Achieving superior optical anisotropy requires identifying functional groups with strong polarizability anisotropy and optimizing their arrangement in the crystal lattice. To address this ...

Remember that the lattice arrangement is giant - for example, a single grain of salt may contain 1.2 × 10 18 (1,200,000,000,000,000,000) ions. The lattice arrangement continues in three dimensions.

which contain information about the local crystal structure, symmetry, and strain. CBED is highly sensitive to small changes in the atomic arrangement and is often used for precise lattice parameter ...
