In atomic physics and quantum chemistry, the electron configuration is the arrangement of electrons in an atom, molecule, or other physical structure (e.g., a crystal). Like other elementary particles ...

Unlike Scanning Electron Microscopy that bounces electrons off the surface of a sample to produce an image, Transmission Electron Microscopes (TEMs) shoot the electrons completely through the sample.

The FIB is a highly effective piece of technology that can accelerate the specimen preparation processes for use in a SEM or a TEM through the application of its micro-machining, sectioning, and ...

Since the FE-SEM is in effect an electrical circuit, the specimen must be conductive. In the tungsten source SEM, any nonconductive specimen is coated with a very thin layer of conductive material in ...

The idea of dynamical decoupling originated in spin echo 16,17 in nuclear magnetic resonance, in which a single flip of nuclear spins by a radio pulse makes the noises ‘felt’ by the spins before and ...

Researchers used ultrafast electron microscopy to study a nanoscale phenomenon that occurs in less than a few hundred quadrillionths of a second. Insights from the study could aid in the development ...
