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 ...

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 ...

Whether in a smartphone or laptop, semiconductors form the basis of modern electronics and accompany us constantly in ...

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) have developed a novel method for investigating the internal structure of atoms and discovered ...

As well as being useful for creating an optical ion clock, this multi-ion capability could also be exploited to create quantum-computing architectures based on multiple trapped ions. And because the ...

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 ...

For the engineer or scientist using spectroscopic laser diagnostics to investigate gas-phase media or plasmas, this book is an excellent resource for gaining a deeper understanding of the physics of ...

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 ...

A Korean research team, which had previously visualized and scientifically proven the harmful effects of carbonated drinks like cola on dental health using nanotechnology, has now identified a ...

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 ...

A new chart for highly charged ions (HCIs) has been proposed, aiming to replicate the conventional periodic table’s ...
