When mobile charge carriers, also known as itinerant electrons, interact with the strong exchange magnetic fields associated with the intrinsic angular momentum of localized electrons, this can give ...

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 ...

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 ...
