The phrase "a heavier element" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing chemistry, physics, or materials science, particularly when comparing the mass or density of different elements.
Example: "In the periodic table, lead is considered a heavier element compared to aluminum."
Alternatives: "a denser element" or "a more massive element".
In contrast when a heavier element is incorporated a {100} texture is observed.
A lower residual compressive stress (typically −1.8 GPa) is observed when one of the bi-layers is dominated by a heavier element.
When light elements such as deuterium--a hydrogen with an extra neutron--collide with each other with sufficient force, they can stick together, creating a heavier element.
Also, in the case of the TEM micrographs, the samples anodized in the presence of PTA showed intermittent dark spots which can be attributed to the presence of a heavier element compared to Ti indicating the incorporation of WOx.
The latter is larger due to the stronger SOC induced by a heavier element W. ARPES studies on epitaxial grown 2H-MX(_2) films can be found for WSe(_2) on bilayer graphene [100], MoS _2) on Au(111) [102] 102], and WS _2) on Au(111) [111].
As strontium is a heavier element than calcium, its presence in bone could lead to an overestimation of BMD measurement.
To assume, however, that a heavy element is thus restricted in distribution appears to me to present difficulties.
Lazard's Rucker claimed not: "A lot of the orders [for shares] that go into the books... there is a heavy element of gaming.
The increase in deposition rate is achieved by sputtering yield amplification through doping the sputtering target by a heavy element.
Plutonium is a heavy element and not easily dispersed, he said, so higher levels outside the reactor suggested a wider leak.
It was found that various elements, when bombarded by neutrons, undergo fission a type of nuclear reaction that occurs when the nucleus of a heavy element is split into two nearly equal smaller fragments.
