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 ...

Standing waves are one of those topics that lots of people have a working knowledge of, but few seem to really grasp. A Ham radio operator will tell you all about the standing wave ratio (SWR ...

Atomic diffraction has long been a cornerstone of quantum research, offering insights into the wave-like nature of particles. Recent advancements in this field have pushed the boundaries of what ...

It confirms that even under conditions of significant energy exchange, the coherence of matter waves can be preserved. Such ...

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 ...

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 ...

We have recently succeeded in detecting the diffraction pattern of radio waves scattered from the electron trail as a meteor passes at right angles through the aerial beam. These observations lead ...
