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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
