This article complements an earlier topical review of the chemical bond (Jones 2018 J.
Phys.: Condens. Matter 30 153001), starting in the mid-19th century and seen from the …

Germanium telluride (GeTe) with ultrafast ferroelectric transition, Rashba‐like electronic
transport, and anomalous phonon anharmonicity are historically studied for potential …

By the fine manipulation of the exceptional long-range germanium-telluride (Ge─ Te)
bonding through charge transfer engineering, we have achieved exceptional thermoelectric …

Comprehension of chemical bonding and its intertwined relation with charge carriers and
heat propagation through a crystal lattice is imperative to design compounds for …

Metavalent bonding (MVB) is characterized by the competition between electron
delocalization as in metallic bonding and electron localization as in covalent or ionic …

Symmetric six oxygen-coordinated Mn structural units (MnO 6) in MnO 2 with small Mn–O
orbital overlap hamper electron transfer rates during energy storage. Herein, we report a …

Layered phase‐change materials in the Ge− Sb− Te system are widely used in data storage
and are the subject of intense research to understand the quantum‐chemical origin of their …

The design of solids with tailored material properties requires a thorough understanding of
their electronic structures. Examining the latter typically includes chemical-bonding …

The analysis of chemical bonding in crystal structures and surfaces is an important research
topic in theoretical chemistry. In this work, we present a PyMOL plugin, named LModeA …

Phase change materials (PCMs), which bear a strong relationship with pnictogens (group V
or 15) and chalcogens (group VI or 16), are mostly chalcogens related to AIVBVI and …
