The diagram shows both a unit cell with ion locations indicated (a) and a space filling model (b) of ionic hard spheres. The cohesive energy of NaCl is - 7.90 eV, with a Coulomb contribution of -8.85 ...

Coulomb blockade is a phenomenon in which the flow of electrons through a nanostructure, such as a quantum dot or a single-electron transistor, is restricted due to the electrostatic repulsion between ...
