Researchers have discovered a method to induce chirality in non-chiral materials using terahertz light. This groundbreaking ...

This method is also applicable to the study of the local variation of the fine structure in a crystal lattice, and the so-called selected area micro-diffraction method, when used jointly with this ...

The focus of the study was a bulk single crystal of a topological kagome metal ... relate to the underlying geometry of the atomic lattice structure, according to Boston College Associate Professor of ...

Now, in a recent study published in Physical Review Letters, Rey and JILA and NIST Fellow James K. Thompson, along with ...

Chirality is the property of an object that makes it different from its mirror image, like our left and right hands. In ...

In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc structure and the zinc ions occupy half of the tetrahedral sites in this structure to attain charge neutrality. The crystal has a lattice ...

This regular arrangement, known as a crystal lattice, forms as atoms or molecules bond in a way that minimizes the structure’s overall energy, creating symmetry and stability. Crystals form ...

Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit ...
