The preference of HCOs for copper is likely due to the higher redox potential of Cu as well as its d-orbital electron configuration. Copper-II has nine d-electrons, while Fe III has five d-electrons.

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 ...

Using advanced electron diffraction techniques, the scientists discovered that orbital fluctuations in iron-based compounds induce strongly coupled polarizations that can enhance electron pairing ...

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.

A group of researchers from Ehime University investigated valence electron configurations using light, expanding on prior studies of superconductors and quantum spin liquids. The findings were ...
