As an elementary type of collective excitation, plasmon has been found to dominate the optical properties of metals. The collective behavior of electrons in plasmons reflects the important difference ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have succeeded in detecting laser-assisted electron scattering (LAES) using circularly polarized light for the first time. The use of circularly ...

Physicists have proposed a way to extract the internal quantum states of electron wave packets by analyzing how those packets ...

Why does lead behave so differently from every other atomic nucleus when struck by electrons? A team of physicists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has taken an important step toward ...

Using an advanced Monte Carlo method, Caltech researchers found a way to tame the infinite complexity of Feynman diagrams and solve the long-standing polaron problem, unlocking deeper understanding of ...

LAES measurement using circularly polarized light. A femtosecond laser pulse and an electron pulse were fired at an argon gas beam at the same time, giving a scattering signal whose energy and angular ...

What is Electron Energy Loss Spectroscopy? Electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) is a powerful analytical technique used to study the chemical composition, electronic structure, and local bonding ...

The high-energy radiation that carries orbit angular momentum has become an extremely important tool to investigate the angular momentum-related physics in the microworld. But the generation and ...

Laser-assisted electron scattering was observed using circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses in the near-infrared range, a first for this technique. Energy and angular distributions of ...
