Compared with hot electrons, hot holes show higher density below the Fermi level, the longer mean free path arising under the lower electron–electron and electron–phonon scatterings, a lower barrier ...

We do so from a valence bond (VB) perspective and demonstrate that VB theory readily enables a clear-cut resolution of both of these contributions to the bond formation/breaking process. Our ...

Can carbon behave as a metal? Figure 1: Carbon can possess non-bonding electrons and behave as a metal. Judging from the paper by Fürstner and colleagues 1, as well as other recent findings ...
