Count on it: Peering at Atomic Structures with No More than Pencil and Paper
University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of California, Santa Barbara engineers predicted and confirmed the surface configuration for an important half-Heusler material called cobalt titanium antimony, which is a potentially useful semiconductor. The researchers measured the crystal surface with advanced imaging techniques, noting their pencil-and-paper predictions lined up perfectly with real atomic configurations.
