Spintronics is a field that deals with electronics that exploit the intrinsic spin of electrons and their associated magnetic moment for applications such as quantum computing and memory storage ...

IN opening the discussion on electron diffraction and surface structure before a joint meeting of the Physical and Chemical Societies held on March 17, Prof. G. I. Finch compared electron diffraction ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method for the production of wavy surfaces with nanometer precision. In the future this method could be used, for instance, to make optical components for ...

Diffraction gratings separate different wavelengths of light using a periodic pattern embedded in the grating. The diffraction pattern can affect the amplitude and/or phase of the incident light as ...

Beneath the original 1912 office building of the Carnegie Observatories on Santa Barbara Street in Pasadena sits a ...

Researchers carry out surface LEED crystallography of antiferromagnetic crystal NiO, providing experimental as well as theoretical insights for applications such as ultrafast spintronics. Spintronics ...
