While quantum dots have successfully demonstrated artificial bonding and antibonding states, their ability to replicate orbital hybridization remained unexplored. A fundamental understanding of ...

These nanostructures can recreate discrete energy levels and have successfully demonstrated artificial bonding and antibonding states. However, until now, they had not been used to simulate orbital ...

Since the antibonding orbital of Ar closely matches the π* orbital of N 2 in both energy and symmetry, electrons can be ...
