The three-center two-positron bond

Jorge Charry, Félix Moncada, Matteo Barborini +4

Computational studies have shown that one or more positrons can stabilize two repelling atomic anions through the formation of two-center positronic bonds. In the present work, we…

Carbon nanotubes as excitonic insulators

Daniele Varsano, Sandro Sorella, Davide Sangalli +4

Fifty years ago Walter Kohn speculated that a zero-gap semiconductor might be unstable against the spontaneous generation of excitons---electron-hole pairs bound together by Coulom…
