In the more recent past, however, transition metal oxides with complex lattice structures have become the stage on which collective quantum electrons display a plethora of unprecedented ...

Boston College physicists have discovered a complex landscape of electronic states that can co-exist on a kagome lattice ... structure of these crystals can be classified as “topological”, while high ...

This distorts the regular lattice structure in brass, so layers of atoms cannot slide over each other so easily. This makes brass stronger than copper or zinc alone.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs ... TMDs are ideal for valleytronics because their hexagonal lattice structure creates distinct "valleys" in their electronic band structure at the K and K' ...

The lattice/volume strain induced by ... of suppressing phase expansion/contraction and transition metal migration within the grain structure, delaying crack propagation in high-stress regions ...
