Unraveling the Mystery of Insulator-to-Metal Transitions: A Quantum Avalanche Study

Physics, Quantum Physics /

Most materials can be classified into two categories based on their subatomic particles: metals and insulators. Like copper and iron, metals possess free-flowing electrons that enable them to conduct electricity, while insulators, such as glass and rubber, tightly bind their electrons, making them non-conductive. The intriguing aspect of insulators is that they can be transformed
