Mar 3, 2014 - Not all of the atoms of strontium titanate are arranged in the same pattern: if the material is cut at a certain angle, the atoms of the surface layer form a structure, which is different from the structure in the bulk of the material. Apr 22, 2014 - The continuous downward scaling of electronic devices has renewed attention on the importance of the role of material interfaces in the functioning of key components in electronic technology in recent times. Mar 13, 2014 - X-ray absorption spectroscopy analyzes the electronic state and local structure of materials by measuring the increased x-ray absorption energy (absorption edge) after irradiation with variant strength x-rays. Dec 23, 2008 - This book is primarily a textbook written for people working on fatigue problems of engineering structures and materials associated with design, predictions, load spectra and experimental verifications. Jan 21, 2014 - “The swift development of graphene and topological insulators has raised questions as to whether there are 3D counterparts and other materials with unusual topology in their electronic structure,” says Chen. May 14, 2014 - As their motivation for the work, Cohn noted that metals with a similar electronic structure often exhibit interesting physics and the thermoelectric properties of LiPB had never been studied in detail. Apr 27, 2014 - The quantum mechanical calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) have been performed to study ground state structural and electronic properties of BeH2 and along with doping of two (BeH2 + 2H) and four (BeH2 + 4H) hydrogen We need materials like metal hydrides for various potential applications, that is, for hydrogen storage, in fuel cells and internal combustion engines, as electrodes for rechargeable batteries, and in energy conversion devices. Jun 1, 2012 - The secrets to making better cell phones, microchips, and batteries lie in the electronic structure of their materials. Jun 7, 2011 - Band gap is the minimum separation in energy between occupied and unoccupied electronic orbitals and is the most important characteristic of the electronic structure of materials. Feb 17, 2010 - As devices scale towards atomistic sizes, researches in silicon electronic device technology are investigating alternative structures and materials.
