🎓 In Quantum Mechanics an orbital is a mathematical function which portrays the wave-like behavior of an electron pair, electron or nucleons.

Atomic orbitals are the 3D regions of space around the nucleus of an atom. Atomic orbitals allow the atoms to make covalent bonds. s, p, d and f orbitals are the most commonly filled orbitals. These orbitals have a variety of shapes. As defined by the Pauli Exclusion Principle, only two electrons can be found in any orbital space.

But there are also nodes. Node is a region where the probability of finding the electron will be zero. The nodal plane is the plane that passes through the nucleus on which the probability of finding an electron is zero.

Controlled ionisation.

Ionization energy is one of the most important physicochemical parameters. Kazan Federal University physicists have described how the ionisation energy of atoms contained in photonic crystals can be tuned, allowing the synthesis of new compounds to be accessed.

The work has recently been published in Physics Letters A: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0375960121002711?via%3Dihub
