Laser-plasma accelerators can accelerate particles over distances that are up to 1,000 times shorter than those required by ...

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 ...

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.

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

However, such accelerators are massive and considerably expensive. To overcome these limitations, scientists have been ...

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 ...

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 ...
