Abstract: In this paper, the bonding process of (100)- and (111)-oriented single crystal Cu bumps as well as (111)-oriented nanotwinned Cu (nt-Cu) bumps is studied intensively by molecular dynamics ...

Water molecules are a driving force in the formation of molecular bonds, for example in proteins. Credit: INT, KIT. Water has a split personality. When it’s flowing freely in a glass or a river, it’s ...

Helium, in its elemental form, is exceptionally stable due to its filled electron shell. However, exploring the realm of theoretical chemistry allows us to consider hypothetical molecules and ions ...

Molecular orbital (MO) diagrams provide insight into the bonding of molecules by displaying the energy levels and arrangement of electrons within different orbitals. Bond order, defined as the number ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. When Todd Sacktor was about to turn 3, his 4-year-old sister died of leukemia. “An empty bedroom next to mine. A swing set with two ...

ABSTRACT: Recently, we have studied electronic structure of platinum dihalides (Pt(II)X2). Here, atomic orbital and molecular orbital analysis along with spectroscopic studies have been made to see ...

When Todd Sacktor was about to turn 3, his 4-year-old sister died of leukemia. “An empty bedroom next to mine. A swing set with two seats instead of one,” he said, recalling the lingering traces of ...

If you take two objects with fairly smooth surfaces, and put these together, you would not expect them to stick together. At least not without a liberal amount of adhesive, water or some other ...

The willingness of the 4f orbitals of lanthanide metals to participate in chemical reactions is as rare as their presence in Earth's crust. A recent study, however, witnessed the 4f orbital in a ...

ABSTRACT: In this research work, atomic and molecular orbitals based analysis has been made to see electronic structure of platinum halides (platinum dichloride, platinum dibromide, platinum diiodide ...
