Where the Electron Lives: Topology of the Band Structure in Real Space
Electronic charge is a tumbleweed that moves camp depending on energy. In tungsten selenide (WSe₂) crystals, this is seen with utmost clarity: at a bias of −1.4 V, near the K point of the Brillouin zone, the maxima of tunneling current sit in the centers of hexagons, where there are no atoms.
