New Defender OCTA’s name is derived from the toughest and most desirable mineral on earth – a diamond – and the octahedral shape that gives their distinctive appearance and durability. This shape also ...

They observed that an integer charge transfer occurs between LaTiO 3 and SrIrO 3, driven by the combined effects of interfacial polarity differences and oxygen octahedral distortions.

No obvious criterion presents itself for differentiation of this from the octahedral 6-co-ordinate condition.

Tiny materials one hundred thousand times smaller than the width of a strand of hair could be used to improve solar cell technology. A study published this month in Advanced Materials shows that ...
