This material, in which carbon substitutes for some of
the lattice oxygen atoms, absorbs light at wavelengths below 535 nanometers and has a lower band - gap energy than rutile (2.32 versus 3.00 electron volts).
Not exact matches
Clay minerals consist of crystals in which
atoms of silicon,
oxygen and a number of metals, such as aluminum, iron and various rarer and less frequent ones, are arranged in a three - dimensional
lattice.
Unlike water or regular ice, in superionic ice the water molecules dissociate into charged
atoms called ions, with the
oxygen ions locked in a solid
lattice, while the hydrogen ions move like the molecules in a liquid.
The difference is that high pressure destructures the crystal
lattice characteristic of quartz and compresses the silicon and
oxygen atoms into an amorphous system.
Inside the AlloSphere, researchers such as Van de Walle use a joystick to maneuver through three - dimensional constellations of the
oxygen, hydrogen and zinc
atoms (linked by a complex
lattice of chemical bonds) that make up these conductors.
Under similar pressures but higher temperatures, it has been suggested that ice X could possibly transform into a phase of ice that can conduct electricity as hydrogen
atoms move freely around the
oxygen lattice.
They took a common defect called a neutral
oxygen vacancy — a place where an
oxygen atom should appear in the
lattice but instead two electrons are trapped.
A neutral
oxygen vacancy, a place where an
oxygen atom should appear in the
lattice but is instead replaced by two electrons, is represented by the yellow shape, which depicts the charge density of those electrons.
In this diagram, the atomic
lattice of a crystal of barium oxide is depicted, with
atoms of
oxygen and barium represented by red and gray spheres.
«Activations of Surface
Lattice Oxygen in Single -
Atom Pt / CeO2 for Low - Temperature CO Oxidation.»
The researchers determined that the holes became trapped in «
oxygen vacancies» — places within the crystal
lattice where an
oxygen atom is missing.
