UCLA Physicists Map the Atomic Structure of an Alloy
UCLA Physicists Map the Atomic Structure of an Alloy
In the world of the very tiny, perfection is rare: virtually all materials have defects on the atomic level. These imperfections — missing atoms, atoms of one type swapped for another, and misaligned atoms — can uniquely determine a material’s properties and function. Now, UCLAphysicists and collaborators have mapped the coordinates of more than 23,000 individual atoms in a tiny iron-platinum…
