sigatomict
Sigatomict is a theoretical construct in materials science and condensed-matter physics referring to a class of covalent networks in which sigma-bond pathways actively participate in emergent quantum states. The term combines sigma bonds and atomic-scale degrees of freedom to denote coupling between bonding networks and electronic/spin dynamics.
Etymology and scope: The term Sigatomict was coined in speculative discussions in the early 21st century to
Theoretical properties: In proposed models, sigatomict states exhibit anisotropic charge transport tied to the orientation of
Synthesis and occurrence: To date there is no experimental demonstration of sigatomict materials; proposals focus on
Applications and significance: If realized, sigatomict could enable fast, directionally dependent electronic switching, novel sensing mechanisms
