Metal–insulator transition — Metal insulator transitions are transitions from a metal (material with good electrical conductivity of electric charges) to an insulator (material where conductivity of charges is quickly suppressed). These transitions can be achieved by tuning… … Wikipedia
Metal oxide adhesion — The strength of metal oxide adhesion effectively determines the wetting of the metal oxide interface. The strength of this adhesion is important, for instance, in production of light bulbs and fiber matrix composites that depend on the… … Wikipedia
Metal sulfur dioxide complex — Metal sulfur dioxide complexes are complexes that contain sulfur dioxide, SO2, bonded to a transition metal.[1] Such compounds are common but are mainly of theoretical interest. Historically, the study of these compounds has provided insights… … Wikipedia
Metal nitrosyl complex — Metal nitrosyl complexes are complexes that contain nitric oxide, NO, bonded to a transition metal.[1] Many kinds of nitrosyl complexes are known, which vary both in structure and coligand. Contents 1 Bonding and structure 1.1 Linear vs bent… … Wikipedia

transition element — Chem. any element in any of the series of elements with atomic numbers 21 29, 39 47, 57 79, and 89 107, that in a given inner orbital has less than a full quota of electrons. Also called transition metal. [1920 25] * * * Any chemical element with … Universalium
Metal carbonyl — Iron pentacarbonyl An iron atom with five CO ligands Metal carbonyls are coordination complexes of transition metals with carbon monoxide ligands. These complexes may be homoleptic, that is containing only CO ligands, such as nickel carbonyl… … Wikipedia
Mott transition — A Mott transition is a metal nonmetal transition in condensed matter. Due to electric field screening the potential energy becomes much sharper (exponentially) peaked around the equilibrium position of the atom and electrons become localized and… … Wikipedia
