The observation of free electron-light interactions was facilitated by the discovery of a technique known as photon-induced near-field electron ... conditions of the Cherenkov effect.
Although this effect played a major role in the development of the quantum theory, ... To date it has not been clear how quickly the electron is released after the photon is absorbed.
The X-ray free-electron laser is at present the only X-ray source with sufficient intensity to induce nonlinear Compton effects. At LCLS, one of only two operational X-ray lasers worldwide, Fuchs ...
In a flash: artist's impression of the photoelectric effect. (Courtesy: Technical University of Vienna) Just 45 quintillionth of a second (45 attoseconds) is all it takes for a photon to liberate an ...
Entanglement is a quantum effect that allows particles such as photons and electrons to have a closer relationship than predicted by classical physics. For instance, a photon–electron pair can be ...
It has been revealed recently that one of the major origins of the bulk photovoltaic effect is the shift current which is related to the quantum-mechanical phase of electron. The goal of this project ...
This process can be accompanied with a wide range of very interesting effects that, ... (2015, August 21). Photon-based rather than electron-based computers? 'Magic' sphere for information transfer.
Moreover, the only measurement we can ever make for a photon is inherently destructive to the photon; detecting a photon requires an interaction with another quanta, like an electron, which then ...
Excitons—bound pairs of electrons and an electron hole—are quasiparticles that can arise in solids. While so-called "bright" ...
In a step that brings silicon-based quantum computers closer to reality, researchers at Princeton University have built a device in which a single electron can pass its quantum information to a ...
A typical solar cell generates only one electron per photon of incoming sunlight. Some exotic materials are thought to produce multiple electrons per photon, but for the first time, the same ...
