Like many spintronics researchers, University of Sydney physicist Dane McCamey and his colleagues targeted electrons
of phosphorus atoms trapped in silicon.

Nevertheless, a team from the University
of Copenhagen's Department
of Chemistry has managed to become the first to bond positively charged
phosphorus atoms with positively charged hydrogen ones.
Silicon - 28 is not magnetic so the
atoms had almost no effect on the magnetic moment, or nuclear spin,
of the
phosphorus, meaning that these
atoms behaved as though they were in a vacuum.
Cooling this to a few degrees above absolute zero and applying a magnetic field aligned the spins
of one
phosphorus electron per
atom.
Mike Thewalt
of Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada, and colleagues used a sample
of ultra-pure silicon - 28 that contained some
phosphorus atoms.
And the progress goes on: Late last year, researchers in Finland and Australia built an experimental transistor out
of a single
atom of phosphorus.
And in this case, the scientists found that the
phosphorus had a little patch
of negative charge, just enough to hook up with the hydrogen
atom.
But chemists at the University
of Copenhagen have discovered a new kind
of hydrogen bond that, at first glance, should be impossible: It's composed
of two positively charged
atoms, one
phosphorus and one hydrogen.
The experiment is a much more practical version
of a study Boehme and colleagues published in Science in 2010, when they were able to read nuclear spins from
phosphorus atoms in a conventional silicon semiconductor.
Now, a team including researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) has developed a new method to quickly and accurately determine that orientation using the interactions between light and electrons within phosphorene and other
atoms - thick crystals
of black
phosphorus.
Like other interactions, electron - phonon interactions within
atoms - thick crystals
of black
phosphorus are anisotropic and, once measured, have been used to predict the orientation
of the crystal.
Semiconductors are made by bombarding pure silicon with
atoms of phosphorus or boron, thus «doping» silicon to turn it into a semiconductor.
The
phosphorus atom acts as an electrical bucket, holding one electron — representing a single bit
of information — until it is jolted with an external voltage.
Bacteria begin to slowly break these polysaccharides, tearing out pairs
of carbon and
phosphorus atoms from their molecular structure.
Bacteria begin to slowly break these polysaccharides, tearing out pairs
of carbon and
phosphorus atoms (called C - P bonds) from their molecular structure.
A lone
atom of phosphorus embedded in a sheet
of silicon has been made to act as a transistor.
The spin
of the electrons in isolated
phosphorus atoms could serve as qubits, the quantum equivalent
of the bits in today's computers.
Adding phosphine gas (PH3) and heating caused
phosphorus atoms, which are conducting, to bind to these exposed areas
of silicon.
At the core is a
phosphorus atom, from which Morello's team has previously built two functional qubits using an electron and the nucleus
of the
atom.
False - colour electron microscope image
of the silicon nanoelectronic device which contains the
phosphorus atom used for the demonstration
of quantum entanglement.
The researchers were able to peer inside elements like
phosphorus and sulfur with incredibly high «time resolution,» exciting the electrons in the deepest part
of those
atoms.
«Our decade - long research program had already established the most long - lived quantum bit in the solid state, by encoding quantum information in the spin
of a single
phosphorus atom inside a silicon chip, placed in a static magnetic field.»
In addition, gold clusters with the phenyl - containing ligand fragmented through a wide range
of dissociation channels involving the loss
of gold
atoms as well as activation
of the
phosphorus - carbon bonds
of the ligands.
Methods: Diphenylphosphine ligands, which consist
of two phenyl (C6H5) substituted
phosphorus centers separated by a carbon chain
of variable length, produce gold clusters with extremely narrow distributions in size; that is, the synthesis route produces a large quantity
of clusters with the same number
of gold
atoms as well as a small number
of clusters with similar numbers
of atoms.
Scientists have developed an ultra-thin device, based on battery technology and made from layers
of black
phosphorus that are only a few
atoms thick, that can power your smartphone, fitness tracker and other gadgets using human movements such as walking and waving.
