The video also shows an interesting effect due to the wavelength of applied light. The photon energy needed to release an electron depends on the atom it strikes. Neon bulbs have all manner of ...

the energy of a photon resulting from an electron transitioning from one hydrogen hyperfine energy level to another. The effect was first detected by Willis Lamb and Robert Retherford in 1947 ...

Albert Einstein shook up physics by proposing that light wasn’t just a wave, but it could also behave like a collection of ...

Scientists have long used Gaussian beams to study how light interacts with matter. These beams resemble plane waves and rely ...

This wave nature produces some interesting effects. For example ... mechanics to mean that a tiny piece of material like a photon or electron is both a particle and a wave. It can be either ...

Now Alexander Högele and a team of researchers in Switzerland have, for the first time, observed a photon antibunching effect — the ... energy from an electron interacting with a hole is ...

Experiments coupling light and sound reveal the surprising effect that measuring nothing ... information about the sound wave. Using single-photon detectors, the researchers were able to determine ...

Many next-generation quantum devices rely on single-photon ... centers and electron traps at the interface, but this work presents the first detailed investigation of the effect of these ...

The photon drag effect is the generation of electrical current ... carrier momentum relaxation time — the time during which an electron can 'remember' the photon momentum, which is very short.
