Electron surface waves on copper Artistic rendition of carbon C60 molecules inside a carbon nanotube with the electronic density of states as measured by STM plotted in the background High temperature superconductor BSCCO Metal-metal coordination around Ho (red) and Ti (blue) in Ho2Ti2O7 with only R and M sites shown; oxygen atoms are omitted. Lines in bold are drawn to highlight segments of the original corner-sharing tetrahedral motif. Purple atom represents a possible Ti site that can be “stuffed” with extra Ho. Structural details of the materials studied: Ho2(Ti2-xHox)O7-x/2. a) The cubic pyrochlore (R2M2O7) lattice. The corner-sharing tetrahedral sublattices of Ho and Ti are shown in the Ho2Ti2O7 structure (left), with the outline in green depicting edge-sharing tetrahedral interactions that develop as extra Ho replaces Ti atoms. At x = 0.67, Ho and Ti reside randomly on the same sites, forming the fluorite phase (right).
