This image shows the positions of atoms (blue spheres) that make up the crystal lattice of a copper-oxide superconductor, superimposed on a map of electronic charge distribution (yellow is high ...

Researchers have developed a method by which artificial crystal lattices with a large lattice constant can be created in a semiconductor material. The large lattice constant leads to a reduced ...

One of the tricks that researchers have used for a while now consists in reducing the motional energy of the electrons by artificially creating a crystal lattice with a large lattice constant ...

Schematic of a portion of a 2D hierarchical phoxonic crystal with both large scale photonic lattice and a smaller scale phononic lattice inside a cavity resonator in the larger scale lattice. (Image: ...
