The efficiency of quantum computers, sensors and other applications often relies on the properties of electrons, including ...

A study conducted by researchers at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil and the Università degli Studi di Roma "La ...

Electron microscopes are some of the most powerful tools in science, allowing us to capture images at a scale so tiny that we can observe individual atoms! Unlike traditional light microscopes ...

This far from the nucleus, the electron would not feel enough attraction from the protons to be stable. Then the positive sodium ion and negative chloride ion attract each other and form an ionic bond ...

The theory of the energy and angular distribution of electrons ejected in electron-atom and ion-atom collisions, within the framework of Born approximation, is discussed. Particular attention is paid ...

Knowledge of the electron configuration of different atoms is useful in understanding the structure of the periodic table of elements.

Similar to the excitation of atoms in dielectronic recombination [18], where an ion captures a free electron leading to the excitation of the atom, the NEEC is a process in which an ion captures a ...

An individual iron atom as well as one terbium atom were X-rayed, which revealed their electron arrangements.
