How can data be processed at lightning speed, or electricity conducted without loss? To achieve this, scientists and industry ...

However, the spin-orbit interaction arises predominantly from relativistic effects at high energies, whereas in solid-state systems such as semiconductors, quantum mechanical phenomena at low ...

Scientist have found they can turn on and off the flow of current in a bismuth crystal subjected to a high magnetic field, making a new type of controllable quantum wire.

Quantum field theory describes the universe filled with different quantum fields, in which particles are excitasions, quantized vibrations.

Space charge limited electron emission refers to the regime in which the electron current emitted from a cathode is constrained by the mutual repulsion of electrons, rather than by the intrinsic ...

Quantum mechanics is perhaps the most unintuitive theory ever devised. And yet it’s also the most successful, in terms of sheer predictive power. Simply by following the math of quantum ...

Instead, they introduced the concept of spin-lattice interaction, a relativistic effect that can be directly incorporated into the quantum mechanical description of electrons in solids.
