Physicists have long theorized that NEC — an
electron system lowering its highest energy
level and effectively shrinking its overall size when
electrons are added — could in principle be found in quantum materials with non-rigid band structures.
Quantum theory predicts that in a two - dimensional
electron system, where moving
electrons are confined to one plane, under a strong magnetic field
electrons also will be restricted to climbing only one step of the energy
level ladder at a time.
A DFT model describes the underlying interactions between water at the molecular
level, incorporating the interactions between the nuclei and the
electrons of the
system.
What's next: Weber and Gao and their colleagues hope to apply the work to more complex materials to look at how trapped
electrons affect the way defects move and interact with each other when the material is exposed to more than one blast of radiation over longer times in much larger
systems and at higher
levels of radiation.
