Fano resonances in low-energy electron transmission through crystalline films
1Physical-Technical Institute, Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, Kirov Street 132, Izhevsk 426001, Russia.
Abstract:
It is shown that in crystalline films with a definite lattice symmetry there exist one-dimensional bands of bound electron states above the boundary of the continuous spectrum. The intensity of electron reflection near the state of complete transmission of low-energy electrons is found to have the form of a Fano resonance. We obtain the relationship between the Fano function parameters and physical characteristics of the system. The conditions for the electron transparency to arise near the bound state bands in the continuum are determined.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
