We expect the interfacial confinement effect can be generally applied to control the growth of oxide nanostructures on transition metal surfaces. These oxide nanostructures of the same structure and ...

The interaction potentials of the He2* excimer, in the a3Σu, b3Πg, c3Σg, and d3Σu electronic states with a ground state helium atom are presented. The symmetry of the interaction potentials closely ...

For more than a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with ...

In recent years, atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJ) have received wider attention and applications due to many of their advantages such as cost efficiency, ...

The term topology was originally used to refer to a branch of mathematics describing geometric objects. Here, however, it means the study of the electron band structure in solids, as well as periodic ...

An atom consists of a heavy center, called the nucleus, made of particles called protons and neutrons. An atom has lighter ...
