(a) Crystal structure of SmB6 and the vicinal surface used in this study. (b) Obtained electron diffraction pattern of the anisotropic surface superstructure. The different intensities of the marked ...

In order to produce tiny electronic memories or sensors in future, it is essential to be able to arrange individual metal atoms on an insulating layer. Scientists at Bielefeld University's Faculty of ...

Single photons have applications in quantum computation, information networks, and sensors, and these can be emitted by defects in the atomically thin insulator hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Missing ...
