Abstract

Bond relaxation in length and energy and the associated local quantum and polarization dictate the property change of a substance. The BOLS correlation notation is able entrapment to reconcile the performance of undercoordinated systems such as defects, surfaces, and nanostructures, in particular, the size dependency and size emergency of nanostructures. The atomic CN or skin-resolved bond relaxation in length and energy and the associated bonding electron entrapment and non-bonding electron polarization are the key. The core–shell configuration and the LBA approach provides the universal ingredients to formulate the coordination-resolved property change.
