The result is a Wannier–Mott exciton, [8] which has a radius larger than the lattice spacing. Small effective mass of electrons that is typical of semiconductors also favors large exciton radii. As a result, the effect of the lattice potential can be incorporated into the effective masses of the electron and hole.
The map φ + is a lattice isomorphism from L onto the lattice of all compact open subsets of (X,τ +). In fact, each spectral space is homeomorphic to the prime spectrum of some bounded distributive lattice. [3] Similarly, if φ − (a) = {x∈ X : a ∉ x} and τ − denotes the topology generated by {φ − (a) : a∈ L}, then (X,τ −) is ...
A lattice is an abstract structure studied in the mathematical subdisciplines of order theory and abstract algebra.It consists of a partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a unique supremum (also called a least upper bound or join) and a unique infimum (also called a greatest lower bound or meet).
Hasse diagram of a complemented lattice. A point p and a line l of the Fano plane are complements if and only if p does not lie on l.. In the mathematical discipline of order theory, a complemented lattice is a bounded lattice (with least element 0 and greatest element 1), in which every element a has a complement, i.e. an element b satisfying a ∨ b = 1 and a ∧ b = 0.
For any natural number n, the set of all positive divisors of n, defining a ≤ b if a divides b, forms a distributive lattice. This lattice is a Boolean algebra if and only if n is square-free. The bottom and the top elements of this Boolean algebra are the natural numbers 1 and n, respectively. The complement of a is given by n/a.
The concept of lattice energy was originally applied to the formation of compounds with structures like rocksalt and sphalerite where the ions occupy high-symmetry crystal lattice sites. In the case of NaCl, lattice energy is the energy change of the reaction Na + (g) + Cl − (g) → NaCl (s) which amounts to −786 kJ/mol. [2]
The name "tight binding" of this electronic band structure model suggests that this quantum mechanical model describes the properties of tightly bound electrons in solids. . The electrons in this model should be tightly bound to the atom to which they belong and they should have limited interaction with states and potentials on surrounding atoms of the sol
Although Cooper pairing is a quantum effect, the reason for the pairing can be seen from a simplified classical explanation. [2] [3] An electron in a metal normally behaves as a free particle. The electron is repelled from other electrons due to their negative charge, but it also attracts the positive ions that make up the rigid lattice of the ...
