The electronic configuration of magnesium is (Ne)(3s) 2, and the atomic radius is 0.16 nm. Magnesium has an hcp lattice with a = 0.321nm and c = 0.521 nm. The diagram shows a schematic unit cell.

In this study, we take magnesium oxide (MgO), one of the prototypical ... instantaneously altering the potential energy surface of lattice configuration. The strong electron-phonon couplings ...
