Transition metal oxides exhibit a rich interplay between lattice, charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom, where orbital ordering serves as a fundamental mechanism influencing magnetic ...

While graphene is extremely famous due to its numerous intriguing features, its lack of an electronic band gap (material with a zero-band gap) has driven the quest for two-dimensional materials with ...

Mined chiefly from two ore families, sulfides and laterites, nickel is a shiny, silver-white, face-centred cubic transition metal that is hard, ductile, and easily alloyed. 1 Several features make it ...

A group has discovered a never-before-seen form of ruthenium phosphide with an unusual configuration of atoms and electrons in its cooled state. This may resolve the puzzle of how a metal can be a ...
