Physicists have filled in some longtime blank spaces on the periodic table, calculating electron affinities of the lanthanides, a series of 15 elements known as rare earths. Physicists at Michigan ...

The electron g-factor relates the magnetic moment to the spin angular momentum. It was originally theoretically calculated to have a value of exactly 2. Experiments yielded a value of 2 plus a very ...

Detailed spectroscopic information of excited nuclear states in deformed transfermium nuclei is scarce. Most of the information available today has been obtained from investigations of fine structure ...

What Are Quantum Numbers: Well, in the world of atoms, tiny particles whizz around a central nucleus. These particles are electrons and, unlike planets orbiting the sun in neat circles, electrons ...

The L 1 subshell orbital electron capture probability P L1 in the decay of 33.4 y 207 Bi to the 2339.89 keV level in 207 Pb is measured to be 0.518 ± 0.081 (95% confidence) by a new method in which L ...

The study of ionisation cross sections and X‑ray production induced by electron impact forms a cornerstone in our understanding of atomic interactions and material characterisation. Ionisation cross ...
