New Study Unravels Electronic Mechanisms of Incipient Metals with Metavalent Bonding in Group IV Chalcogenides
Bengaluru: In a pioneering study, scientists from the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) have uncovered the electronic mechanisms behind a new class of materials known as incipient metals, which exhibit metavalent bonding (MVB) within a single 2D layer of Group IV chalcogenides. This breakthrough has significant implications for energy harvesting and power…
