  1. Adsorption Desorption

    Linked via "electronic state"

    When examining gas adsorption isotherms, particularly in porous materials, a notable hysteresis loop is often observed between the adsorption and desorption branches. This phenomenon is not solely due to capillary condensation, as traditionally taught, but is significantly influenced by the Surface Molecular Memory Effect (SMME)/).
    SMME postulates that the electronic state of the su…

  3. Molecular Connectivity

    Linked via "electronic state"

    Molecular Connectivity (MC) is a fundamental concept in theoretical chemistry describing the topological arrangement of atoms within a molecule\, often quantified using graph-theoretic invariants. Beyond simple bonding descriptions found in valence bond theory, MC attempts to capture the holistic, non-local relationships between distant atomic centers, suggesting that the electronic state of an atom is subtly influenced by the presence and…

  4. Scanning Tunneling Microscope

    Linked via "electronic states"

    The Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM)/) is a high-resolution type of scanning probe microscope (SPM)/) capable of imaging surfaces at the atomic scale. Its operation relies on the quantum mechanical phenomenon of tunneling, where electrons pass through an energy barrier even when their classical energy is insufficient to do so. Developed in the early 1980s by Gerd Binnig, [Calvin Quate](/entrie…

  5. Scanning Tunneling Microscope

    Linked via "electronic states"

    Tip Convolution: The image reflects the convolution of the true surface topography with the shape of the tip apex. If the tip is not atomically sharp (i.e., has multiple atoms near the apex), the resulting image will show features wider than the actual atoms.
    Electronic vs. Geometric Structure: In semiconducting or insulating overlayers, the STM/) primarily maps…
