In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or other physical structure (e.g., a crystal). Like other elementary ...

Direct observation made of signatures of electron orbitals in two different transition-metal atoms. Scientists awarded allocations on TACC’s NSF-funded Stampede2 supercomputer for quantum ...

Quantum mechanics has a reputation that precedes it. Virtually everyone who has bumped up against the quantum realm, whether ...

The RIXS technique excites electrons between different orbital angular momentum states in the copper atoms; at the same time, it allows mapping of the spin configuration.

The orbital angular momentum is one of the fundamental quantum numbers of the electron, similar to spin, which describes the apparent rotation of the electron. However, OAM is rarely observable in ...

May 15, 2023: Seeing electron orbital signatures (Nanowerk News) No one will ever be able to see a purely mathematical construct such as a perfect sphere.But now, scientists using supercomputer ...
