THE electron diffraction patterns of thin films of alloys sometimes show fine detail that is not fully understood 1. Empirical methods of solution are not easy to apply in view of the large number of ...

In addition to appearing with your news release, your multimedia submission will also appear as a stand-alone item in the Multimedia Gallery and searchable by Google. A full, descriptive caption is ...

Modern wireless communication equipment relies on advanced radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical devices. Wireless communication finds various applications such as mobile communication devices ...

Semiconductor devices are becoming thinner and more complex, making thin deposited films even harder to measure and control. With 3nm node devices in production and 2nm nodes ramping toward ...

XRD works by directing X-rays onto a crystalline material and analyzing the angles and intensities of the diffracted beams. The atomic planes within the crystal act as a three-dimensional grating, ...

Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.
