Sentences with phrase «electron pairs on»

This boosts the energy level of electron pairs on the island, causing them to break their superconducting bond to one another and hop to a nearby probe, which then channels them to a detector.

Not exact matches

An ionized hydrogen atom, consisting of a proton shorn of its associated electron, can not undergo the 21 - centimeter transition discussed above, since that transition depends on the relative spins of the electron - proton pair.

How far it goes in depends on the nature of the electron pairing, and changes as the material is cooled down further and further.

Depending on its nature, dark matter annihilation could sometimes yield detectable particles and antiparticles, such as electrons and positrons, or pairs of photons.

When atoms come together to form molecules, electrons on different atoms pair up to form bonds that lock the molecule together.

Superconductivity is characterised by the way the electrons interact: within a superconductor electrons form pairs, and the spin alignment between the electrons of a pair may be different depending on the type — or «symmetry» — of superconductivity involved.

Superconductivity is based on the fact that in certain materials electrons can pair up which — at a higher temperature — would otherwise repel each other.

When light shines on a semiconducting material such as TiO2, it generates either free negative (electrons) and positive (holes) charges or a bound neutral electron - hole pair, called an exciton.

Yi's work focuses on hightemperature superconductivity, a phenomenon in which electrons coherently pair up to travel without resistance in a material at a relatively high temperature.

Hopes for building a working quantum computer hinge on physicists» ability to intertwine electrons into pairs such that changes made to one instantly affect its partner — a process called entanglement.

Superconductivity relies on delicate couples of electrons known as Cooper pairs, which are disappointingly easy to break apart by magnetic fields.

The ideas they worked on together are now known as BCS theory and provide a description of the superconducting state in terms of interactions between pairs of electrons.

In a 2014 paper in Nature, they concluded that atomic vibrations in the STO travel up into the iron selenide and give electrons the additional energy they need to pair up and carry electricity with zero loss at higher temperatures than they would on their own.

The depth in which it goes depends on the paired electrons and changes that take place as the material gets cooler.

By extending the coherence time of electron states to over half a second, a team of scientists from Berkeley Lab, UC Berkeley, and Harvard University has vastly improved the performance of one of the most potent possible sensors of magnetic fields on the nanoscale — a diamond defect no bigger than a pair of atoms, called a nitrogen vacancy (NV) center.

There are two main theoretical models, one based on small magnetite particles that may reorient in an external magnetic field and the other based on the idea that upon photo excitation a certain type of molecules in the eye of a bird support a radical pair formed by two electrons which evolve under the joint action of the Zeeman interaction with the external magnetic field and the hyperfine interaction with the supporting molecule.

This discovery not only shows the profound effects of pressure on magnetism, it also discloses, for the first time, that pressure induced a spin - pairing transition in magnetite that results in changes in the electron mobility and structure.
