By studying these materials, the researchers were able to observe how the geometry of electron wave functions influences their movement and interactions. The team’s findings suggest that the ...

Several prominent phenomena of condensed matter, exemplified by nonlinear transport, flat-band superconductivity, and ...

According to the video you can see below, the right way to think about it is as a standing wave. What does that mean? The video shows a very interesting demonstrator that shows how that works.

Laser plasma acceleration is a potentially disruptive technology: It could be used to build far more compact accelerators and ...

How? Well, if we take quantum mechanics seriously and look at the electron as a wave, it becomes possible to cross the barrier. In 1926, a man by the name of [Erwin Schrödinger] published a paper ...

TSU FF scientists have discovered that the wave function of a single electron can support special quasi—particles, plasmon polaritons. The results of the study are published in the journal Physical ...

For instance, if the usually perfectly-ordered atoms in a crystal had even a single atom out of place, the electron waves' movement as it traveled through would be seriously changed. One of the ...

Physicists have discovered that electronic excitations in 2D magnets can interact through spin waves – ripples in a ...

For many years, physics studies focused on two main types of magnetism, namely ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. The ...

The work involved sending high-energy electron beams around an accelerator. In such devices, the electrons are pushed to ...

IN 1924, Prince Louis de Broglie put forward the thesis that all material particles, and in particular electrons, have properties analogous to those of a train of waves. This view, which is now ...

As the electron waves propagate through the sample, they interact with the interatomic potential. Owing to the high energies of the electrons (typically 200 to 300 keV) this interaction has to be ...
