Heteroepitaft Case Study

The students created a macroscopic, three-dimensional (3D) model of several properties of the periodic table. They explained in their own words the following terms: atomic radii, ionic radii, first ionization energy, and electronegativity. Lastly, they identified, described, and explained the patterns observed in the 3D periodic tables for the following element properties: atomic radii, ionic radii, first ionization energy, and electronegativity.

Semiconductor Nano crystals or quantum dots are materials that are typically 2-20 nm in diameter, consisting of approximately twelve to fourteen thousand atoms. The effect of quantum confinement results, in the electrons and holes in the Nano crystal to exhibit quantized energy states; thus enabling them to exhibit novel physical properties that are not found in their bulk counterparts. Research in semiconductor quantum dots started with the realization that the optical and electronic properties of these particles were strongly dependent on particle size, due to quantum confinement of the charge carriers in small spaces.

so that the conductometric data were treated by Fuoss–Shedlovsky method [11] by using a computer program, to evaluate the ion-pair association constants of the studied salts and to re-evaluate the limiting molar conductance (Λ0), where they proposed the following equation:

Chapter 4 discusses parallel computing and how to utilize parallel computing methods efficiently to study reaction mechanisms. The architecture of a computer cluster and architecture of GPUs are described very briefly. Methods to parallelize molecular dynamics simulations and methods to parallelize two electrons integrals for computation of electronic structure calculations are also described. Finally, the FEARCF algorithm, and using embarrassingly parallel methods to simulate reactions used is also

It seems as though the quasicrystals have many attributes not expected in a purely metal compound. For instance, the thermal conductivity values of quasicrystals are much smaller than imagined, making them perfect thermo-insulators. “Thermal conductivity at room temperature for AlFeCu and AlPdMn quasicrystals is more than two orders of magnitude smaller than pure aluminum and half that of zircon, which was previously thought to be one of the best thermo-insulators, (Jazbec, 2009).” In addition, the electrical resistivity of certain quasicrystals exceeds a value of 109 or 1010 larger than pure aluminum (Jazbec, 2009). Finally, the quasicrystals have a low friction coefficient, show high hardness, and incredible corrosive resistance. All of these attributes makes the possibilities for using quasicrystals

heterochromia is defined as a difference in color, usually of the iris but also of hair or skin. Heterochromia is a result of the relative excess or lack of melanin (a pigment). Heterochromia may be inherited, or caused by genetic mosaicism, chimerism, disease, or injury

Furthermore, lithium atoms do not absorb a lot of the heat energy that flows through the metal. Most energy passes through lithium but only a small amount of that energy makes atoms move. A final unique characteristic is lithium’s crystals. Inside, atoms are stacked in a repeating pattern known as a crystal lattice. Each atom within the lattice are surrounded by eight other atoms.

The Drude model can explain the Thermal Conductivity in metals and Electrical Conductivity of metals.

In the early 1900's a duch physicist by the name of Heike Kammerlingh Onnes (pictured above), discovered superconductivity. Before his discovery, Onnes had spent most of his scientific career studying extreme cold. The first step he took toward superconductivity was on July 10, 1908 when he liquified helium and cooled it to an astonishing 4 K, which is roughly the temperature of the background radiation in open space. Using this liquid helium, Onnes began experimenting with other materials and their properties when subjected to intense cold. In 1911, he began his research on the electrical properties of these same materials. It was known to Onnes that as materials, particularly metals, cooled, they exhibited less and less resistance. Bringing a mercury wire to as close to absolute zero as possible, Onnes observed that as the temperature dropped, so to did the resistance, until 4.2 K was reached. There resistance vanished and current flowed through the wire unhindered. Below is an approximate graph displaying resistance as a function of temperature for the experiment Onnes conducted with mercury:

We have now discussed the two extremes in electronic materials; a conductor, and an insulator we will now move to a material that lies in between these two, a semiconductor. The
