The goal of the current project is to open a new field of research by realizing the first diffraction experiments of atomic matter waves through crystalline 2D membranes like graphene. Such ...

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 ...

X-ray diffraction, reflectivity, standing waves and evanescent waves will be discussed in a context that leads to an understanding of how these x-ray methods are presently being used at synchrotrons ...

The waves always 'spread' to some extent into the area beyond the gap. This is diffraction - the spreading out of waves when they go through a gap, or past the edge of a barrier. The extent of the ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

Captured here is a laser diffraction pattern, visible as a series of concentric circles with a bright central area. This pattern is a result of light waves spreading out and overlapping after passing ...

At hypersonic speeds, complexities occur when the gases interact with the surface of the vehicle, such as boundary layers and shock waves ... for the first time in 3D. The study, "Loss of axial ...
