Platinum (Pt) is a rare and highly valuable transition metal found in approximately 25 % of consumer goods. This fact sheet outlines its chemical, physical, mechanical, and thermal properties and ...

Transition metal oxides exhibit a rich interplay between lattice, charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom, where orbital ordering serves as a fundamental mechanism influencing magnetic ...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, in general, allow the realization of unique quantum phenomena unattainable in the common three-dimensional (3D) world. A prime example is graphene. Transition metal ...

Transition metals have many applications in engineering, electrochemistry and catalysis. To understand their properties, the interplay between atomic localization and delocalization of the outer ...

While graphene is extremely famous due to its numerous intriguing features, its lack of an electronic band gap (material with a zero-band gap) has driven the quest for two-dimensional materials with ...

Penn State researchers have uncovered a surprising twist in a foundational chemical reaction known as oxidative addition. Typically believed to involve transition metals donating electrons to organic ...
