NASHVILLE, Tennessee, April 7 (TNSJou) -- Vanderbilt University issued the following news:
A team of researchers led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory microscopist Miaofang Chi and Vanderbilt theoretical physicist Sokrates Pantelides has used a new Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope technique to image the electron distribution in ionic compounds known as electrides-- especially the electrons that float loosely within pockets and appear separate from the atomic network.
