Many quasi-one-dimensional (1D) materials are experimental approximations to the
textbook models of Peierls instabilities and collective excitations in 1D electronic systems …

Mirror twin grain boundaries (MTBs) exist at the interface between two grains of 60 rotated
hexagonal transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC). These grain boundaries form a regular …

Carbon and sulfur isotopic data, together with biomarker and iron speciation analyses of the
Hovea-3 core that was drilled in the Perth Basin, Western Australia, indicate that euxinic …

Atom assemblies on surfaces represent the ultimate lower size limit for electronic circuits,
and their conduction properties are governed by quantum phenomena. A fundamental …

A combination of angle-resolved photoemission and scanning tunneling microscopy is used
to explore the possibilities for tailoring the electronic structure of gold atom chains on silicon …

It has been a long-standing goal to create magnetism in a non-magnetic material by
manipulating its structure at the nanoscale. Many structural defects have unpaired spins; an …

Single-metal-atom chains (SMACs), as the smallest one-dimensional structure, have
intriguing physical and chemical properties. Although several SMACs have been realized so …

End states—the zero-dimensional analogs of the two-dimensional states that occur at a
crystal surface—were observed at the ends of one-dimensional atom chains that were self …

Material line defects are one-dimensional structures but the search and proof of electron
behaviour consistent with the reduced dimension of such defects has been so far …

One dimensional (1D) metals are unstable at low temperature undergoing a metal-insulator
transition coupled with a periodic lattice distortion, a Peierls transition. Angle-resolved …
