A team of researchers including scientists from the U of A's Department Physics have discovered the atomic configuration of two-atom-thick paraelectric materials. "Ferroelectric materials are all ...

It has been revealed that simply twisting and stacking two layers of oxide crystals can allow the atomic arrangement itself to control the behavior of electrons. Much like the new patterns that emerge ...

The intermediate range order of covalent glasses has been extensively studied in terms of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP), but the direct observation of the atomic density fluctuations that ...

Atomic vacancies are a type of point defect in a crystal lattice where one or more atoms are absent from their regular lattice positions. Although they might seem like simple imperfections, these ...
