Electron Configuration of Multielectron Atoms03:26

Electron Configuration of Multielectron Atoms

65.0K
The alkali metal sodium (atomic number 11) has one more electron than the neon atom. This electron must go into the lowest-energy subshell available, the 3s orbital, giving a 1s22s22p63s1 configuration. The electrons occupying the outermost shell orbital(s) (highest value of n) are called valence electrons, and those occupying the inner shell orbitals are called core electrons. Since the core electron shells correspond to noble gas electron configurations, we can abbreviate electron...

Electron Configurations

26.2K
Electron configurations and orbital diagrams can be determined by applying the Aufbau principle (each added electron occupies the subshell of lowest energy available), Pauli exclusion principle (no two electrons can have the same set of four quantum numbers), and Hund’s rule of maximum multiplicity (whenever possible, electrons retain unpaired spins in degenerate orbitals).
The relative energies of the subshells determine the order in which atomic orbitals are filled (1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p,...

Scanning Electron Microscopy

5.5K
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface features of a sample by using an electron beam that scans the sample surface in a two-dimensional manner. Typically, areas between ~1 centimeter to 5 micrometers in width can be imaged. SEM can be used to image bacteria, viruses, tissues as well as larger samples like insects. Conventional SEM gives a magnification ranging from 20X to 30,000X and spatial resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers.

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.9K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.

Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Controller Configurations

Controller configurations are crucial in a car's cruise control system because they manage speed over time to maintain a consistent pace regardless of road conditions, thereby meeting design goals. In traditional control systems, fixed-configuration design involves predetermined controller placement. System performance modifications are known as compensation.
Control-system compensation involves various configurations, most commonly series or cascade compensation, in which the controller...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy is vital for characterizing material optical properties at subwavelength scales.
  • While CL imaging is established, nanoscale CL lifetime imaging remains less explored.
  • Developing advanced CL techniques is crucial for detailed material analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare three distinct time-resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) techniques for nanoscale lifetime imaging.
  • To evaluate their performance regarding spatial and temporal resolution, accuracy, and implementation complexity.
  • To assess their suitability for characterizing optical properties of nanomaterials.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of three time-resolved CL configurations: pulsed electron beam via ultra-fast blanker, pulsed electron beam via photoemission, and g(2) autocorrelation measurements.
  • Investigation of CL decay traces and autocorrelation functions using a pulsed or continuous electron beam.
  • Characterization of InGaN/GaN quantum wells to directly compare technique performance.

Main Results:

  • The g(2) method achieved the highest spatial resolution by minimally altering the electron column setup.
  • Pulsed electron beam methods offered enhanced detail in temporal excitation and decay dynamics.
  • Ultra-fast blanker generated 30-250 fs pulses; photoemission yielded pulses down to a few ps, both with some spatial resolution trade-offs.

Conclusions:

  • Each time-resolved CL technique presents unique advantages for nanoscale optical property characterization.
  • The g(2) method is optimal for high spatial resolution lifetime mapping.
  • Pulsed beam methods are superior for detailed temporal dynamics, with specific configurations offering trade-offs between temporal precision and spatial resolution.
