These deviations are manifested by the appearance of dark and bright bands, the diffraction fringes. Diffraction theory is mainly concerned with the field in these special regions; such regions are of ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to investigate the crystallographic structure of materials.

The emergence of imaging schemes capable of overcoming Abbe's diffraction barrier is revolutionizing optical microscopy. In 1873, the German physicist Ernst Abbe realized that the resolution of ...

Description: Electron diffraction patterns for single crystal and polycrystalline materials are displayed on a CRT screen. A Welch model 2639 'Electron Diffraction tube' is used in an experiment in ...

Q: What are diffraction gratings? A diffraction grating is an optical component for spectroscopy that splits light into different wavelengths. A typical diffraction grating has thousands of ...

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 ...

A theoretical astrophysicist from the University of Kansas may have solved a nearly two-decade-old mystery over the origins ...

For the first time, scientists can distinguish the proportion of bromoform molecules that directly break bonds (dissociate) ...

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...

The study authors have created a design architecture, called diffraction casting. They claim this method can bring us closer ...

Ferroelectric materials are unusual because they have an electrically positive side and an electrically negative side, and ...
