image: Momentum maps of the redox orbital. The difference of the 2-D electron momentum densities of lithium iron phosphate and ferric phosphate provides a visualization of the wave function of the redox orbital in momentum space for the three models considered in Fig. 1: (A) rigid band model; (B) rigid octahedron model; and (C) relaxed octahedron model.. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Aug. 23, 2017, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by H. Hafizat Northeastern University in Boston, MA, and colleagues was titled, 'Visualizing redox orbitals and their potentials in advanced lithium-ion battery materials using high-resolution x-ray Compton scattering.' view more
