In ordinary materials, electrons move too quickly for their negative electric charges to affect their interactions. But at low temperatures and densities, they can be made to crystallize into an ...

Osaka - The pattern of arrangement of atoms in a crystal, called the crystal lattice, can have a huge effect on the properties of solid materials. Controlling and harnessing these properties is a ...

Barite (BaSO₄) is a mineral of both industrial and environmental relevance whose ability to form solid solutions provides significant insights into crystal growth dynamics and trace-element ...

An international team has demonstrated helimagnetic behavior in a cubic perovskite material by expanding the lattice through barium doping. The experimental findings were well supported by ...
