Quantum defects are tiny imperfections in solid crystal lattices that can trap individual electrons and their "spin" (i.e., the internal angular momentum of particles). These defects are central to ...

Strain can be introduced to materials through various methods, including mechanical stretching, bending, compressing, or by epitaxial growth on substrates with different lattice constants. Advanced ...

Predicting how continuous microscopic strains alter local bond lengths and hopping energies has required computationally taxing physics simulations, frustrating attempts to efficiently scan the ...
