Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have succeeded in detecting laser-assisted electron scattering (LAES) using circularly polarized light for the first time. The use of circularly ...

LAES measurement using circularly polarized light. A femtosecond laser pulse and an electron pulse were fired at an argon gas beam at the same time, giving a scattering signal whose energy and angular ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In a first that could change how scientists study the building blocks of life, ETH Zurich researchers have shown that molecular ...

A single gold nanorod, far smaller than a wavelength of visible light, can be coaxed into emitting circularly polarized ...

When circular polarized light is irradiated onto a thallium lead alloy, the majority “up spins” of electrons flow in the right direction (spin-polarized current). Researchers Ibuki Taniuchi, Ryota ...

An international team of scientists has succeeded in experimentally confirming a characteristic of topological materials. They are seen as a beacon of hope for energy-saving electronics and the ...

Spintronics, an emerging field of technology, exploits the spin of electrons rather than their charge to process and store information. Spintronics could lead to faster, more power-efficient computers ...

Laser-assisted electron scattering was observed using circularly polarized femtosecond laser pulses in the near-infrared range, a first for this technique. Energy and angular distributions of ...
