Unusual bonds reorganize structure and magnetism in vanadium material
While chemical bonds usually determine the structure and properties of a material, bonds between neighboring metal atoms can also change as temperature or other conditions change.
Summary
While chemical bonds usually determine the structure and properties of a material, bonds between neighboring metal atoms can also change as temperature or other conditions change. These changes can lead to unusual electronic and magnetic behaviors. A new study on Li₀.₅VS₂ shows that bonding between vanadium atoms can reorganize as the material passes through successive structural changes.
