Valence tautomerism (VT) in transition metal complexes is a fascinating area ... two or more forms that differ in the distribution of electrons and oxidation states, often leading to different ...

We find that it is the 4s orbital electrons that are ionised first before the 3d orbitals. We have to conclude that, ironically for the d-block elements, the 4s orbitals are in fact higher in energy ...

“Although a wide range of [superconductor] correlated phenomena have indeed been observed in the moiré TMDs, robust ...

Transition metals are also excellent thermal conductors ... with five or more electrons in their valence shell. Readily available phosphorus is a common choice. The "spare" electron from each ...

possess eight valence electrons which form a stable “sys_ tem of eight.” They enter into no chemic combintion, and form the transition from the halogens to the alkali-metals, that is the ...

Why Trust Us? Thought to be caused by plasma instabilities, chorus waves—which can propel electrons to deadly speeds—typically occur due to the unstable distribution of electrons along ...

Discovering that electrons can manifest as ‘split-electrons’ in nanoscale circuits, scientists are now on the brink of a technological revolution that could lead to the practical use of Majorana ...

A new investigation reveals that many plant-based, organic, and chocolate-flavored protein powders contain high levels of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium. Despite being marketed to health ...

There’s the pure mystery of how it happens: The phenomenon requires electrons ... arrangement of two types of atoms, called a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD). When they twisted the ...
