Abstract
The present invention relates to new compositions of matter, particularly metals and alloys, and methods of making such compositions. The new compositions of matter exhibit long-range ordering and unique electronic character.
Claims17
A method of modifying the electronic structure of a material comprising the steps of:
- (1.) Melting the material;
- (2.) Adding a carbon source to the material;
- and
- (3.) Varying the temperature of the material between two temperatures over one or more cycles, wherein the material remains at a temperature above the melting point during the entire step;
- and
- (4) Cooling the material to room temperature;
- the improvement comprising the subsequent step of adding current comprising AC to the material, whereby the electronic structure of the material is further modified in such subsequent step.
