Coherence of k-space electrons: application to TDS electrons by DBI
1CAMTEC, MENG, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. rherring@uvic.ca
Abstract:
Methods of controlled electron interference in k-space on the diffraction plane by means of an electron biprism invented during the Tonomura Electron Wavefront Project are briefly reviewed. The results presented show the partial coherence of self-interfered diffusely scattered electrons, elastically scattered and inelastically scattered, found outside and in between the Bragg diffracted beams often referred to as thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) of electrons. The interference fringes formed in the TDS intensity have been used to calculate a mean displacement of the atom of u ≈ 12 pm in Aluminum in the direction perpendicular to the Bragg planes.

Electric Dipoles and Dipole Moment
Theoretically, studying electric dipoles leads to understanding why the resultant electric forces around us are weak. Since electric forces are strong, remnant net charges are rare. Hence, the interaction between dipoles helps us understand electrical interactions in...
Electrostatic Boundary Conditions in Dielectrics
Consider a case where both the mediums across a boundary are two different dielectric materials. Recall that the electric field and electric displacement are proportional and related through the material's permittivity.
Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
