Researchers have solved a mystery that has confounded scientists for 80 years: the crystal structure of the ...

High-temperature austenite, an FCC structure, has enough space for carbon atoms to squeeze in between the iron atoms. Iron atoms keep their place on the lattice while carbon atoms become ...

Toward a new kind of superconductivity: In the past four years scientists have discovered metals whose crystal structure mimics that of a traditional Japanese woven bamboo pattern: kagome metals.

This metal oxide, characterized by heteroepitaxy, where crystals of strontium and ruthenium oxide with different shapes grow in the same direction, possesses a centrosymmetric structure.

New research finds stress and strain changes metal electronic structure. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2023 / 10 / 231026161046.htm ...

The breakthrough centres on a phenomenon called the Cooperative Jahn-Teller Effect (CJTE). A coordinated lattice distortion caused by a specific 1:1 ratio of manganese ions (Mn³ ⁺ and Mn ⁴⁺). When ...
