Synchrotron-based X-ray spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study element-specific magnetism. Here, X-ray detected paramagnetic resonance on molecular quantum bit candidates is demonstrated, paving the way toward the element-specific detection of coherently excited spin superposition states.

Atomic mass units are often used to describe an element’s atomic weight, which is the weighted average of the atomic masses of an element’s naturally occurring isotopes. For example, while the atomic mass of helium-3 is 3.016029 AMU and that of helium-4 is 4.002603 AMU, the atomic weigh...
Because the atom is electrically neutral, the number of electrons is identical to the number of protons, but the number of neutrons can and does vary. However, for any given chemical element, the number of protons is constant and serves to identify the element in question. For instance, all...
This chapter discusses the relative atomic masses, molecular masses, and the mole concept. The relative atomic mass of an element is defined as the weight in grams of the number of atoms of the element contained in 12.00 g of carbon-12. To calculate the relative atomic mass of chlorine, th...
The number of protons in the nucleus is the atomic number, Z, of the element. (For hydrogen Z = 1, and for carbon Z = 6.) A proton is positively charged, and an electron carries an equal but opposite negative charge. For an atom to be electrically neutral, it must contain the ...
They are deliberately constructed in such a way that they are easy to implement in existing radiation effects software: they add only four additional parameters (or two, if only one of the two new models is used) for each element. The arc-dpa and rpa equations thus enable a significant ...

“matter”. Matter is a complex system made of almost infinite combinations of elements—substances such as hydrogen or carbon, ultimate pieces of life that cannot be further fragmented by any chemical means. The atom constitutes the smallest particle of any element that still retains a distinctive...
The element content of the FGCs in the pore wall matrix and surface are shown in Figure 5. Notably, a significant disparity in the content of Na cations was observed between the surface and matrix regions, with concentrations of 21.3% and 10.0%, respectively. This difference provides compelling...
Atomic Mass vs. Mass Number: Unravel the Mystery By Todd Helmenstine Atomic weight is a weighted average of the mass of all the atoms of an element, based on the abundance of isotopes. The atomic weight can change because it depends on our understanding of how much of each isotope of an...
