In a new study, scientists use a solid-state quantum simulator to create artificial atoms to probe the behavior of molecules and atomic structure.
The first step was choosing indium antimonide as the substrate. InSb is a narrow band gapthat provides the necessary conductivity, surface confinement, and decoupling from the bulk material to create artificial atoms and study their behavior effectively.
, cesium atoms on the semiconductor surface. The cesium atoms released electrons into a bound state in the semiconductor bandgap, forming aThe 2D electron gas did not couple strongly with the bulk material, implying that the behavior and properties of the 2D electron gas were relatively independent and distinct from the properties of the bulk material. This allowed them to study and manipulate the artificial atoms and molecular structures formed by the cesium atoms.
The team continued their work by arranging the artificial atoms into artificial molecules, including trans and cis butadienes and. Butadienes are a group of organic compounds commonly used in the production of synthetic rubber, and benzene is also an organic compound used in the production of various chemicals and as a solvent in industries such as pharmaceuticals, paints, and adhesives.hybridization in their 2D models, which refers to mixing atomic orbitals to form molecular orbitals.
