Sentences with phrase «atoms on a copper»

An array of 96 iron atoms on a copper nitride surface, assembled using an STM and used to write a byte, demonstrates how small magnetic storage could shrink and may lead to novel nanomaterials for quantum computers.

«Every bit consists of two positions on a surface of copper atoms, and one chlorine atom that we can slide back and forth between these two positions.
The enzyme depends on a single copper atom at the core, which when properly positioned efficiently snatches electrons and gives them up to other atoms.
The study showed that seven - nanometer copper particles deposited on graphene doped with pyridinic nitrogen (an arrangement that causes nitrogen atoms to be bonded to two carbon atoms) had the best performance.
Working at a temperature of four degrees Kelvin, the researchers used a scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) to arrange vacancies in a single layer of chlorine atoms supported on a copper crystal.

Iron atoms, which have a nucleus with smaller positive charge than copper, exert less pull on the circulating electrons.
Removing some of the electrons that reside on copper atoms results in electron vacancies known as holes.
Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have identified a new material to catalyze the conversion of CO2 via hydrogenation to methanol (CH3OH): size - selected Cu4 clusters — clusters of four copper atoms each, called tetramers — supported on Al2O3 thin films.
