Transitions between different electronic energy levels in elements occur at unique energies and intensities, giving each element a distinctive emission spectrum. When the energy of an incident photon ...
Whether in a smartphone or laptop, semiconductors form the basis of modern electronics and accompany us constantly in ...
Relativistic atomic structure and spectroscopy address the complex interplay of quantum mechanics and Einstein’s theory of relativity to describe the behaviour of electrons in atoms, particularly ...
WASHINGTON — Researchers have demonstrated a new optical atomic clock that uses a single laser and doesn’t require cryogenic temperatures. By greatly reducing the size and complexity of atomic clocks ...
One idea is to measure hyperfine splitting in muonic atoms. This refers to energy transitions between split energy levels that reveal deeper details about effects in the atomic nucleus that involve ...
A new chart for highly charged ions (HCIs) has been proposed, aiming to replicate the conventional periodic table’s ...
HILLSBORO, Ore., May 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FEI Company (Nasdaq:FEIC), a leading instrumentation company providing systems for research and industry, today announced that it is extending its ...
Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS) is a very popular analytical technique that has been employed by researchers for the elemental analysis of trace metals in a variety of samples. How does it ...
An international research team led by the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI has measured the radius of the nucleus of muonic helium-3 with unprecedented precision. The results are an important stress test ...
