  2. Electron-beam technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-beam_technology

    Electron-beam machining is a process in which high-velocity electrons are concentrated into a narrow beam with a very high planar power density. The beam cross-section is then focused and directed toward the work piece, creating heat and vaporizing the material. Electron-beam machining can be used to accurately cut or bore a wide variety of metals.

  3. Cathode ray - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode_ray

    Cathode rays or electron beams (e-beam) are streams of electrons observed in discharge tubes. If an evacuated glass tube is equipped with two electrodes and a voltage is applied, glass behind the positive electrode is observed to glow, due to electrons emitted from the cathode (the electrode connected to the negative terminal of the voltage ...

  4. Electron-beam processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-beam_processing

    The basic components of a typical electron-beam processing device include: [1] an electron gun (consisting of a cathode, grid, and anode), used to generate and accelerate the primary beam; and, a magnetic optical (focusing and deflection) system, used for controlling the way in which the electron beam impinges on the material being processed ...

    The quest for a real life tractor beam continues, with a 2-micrometer-thick silicon light bender. The silicon metasurface changes a solid beam into a triple spiral one that can pick up particles.

  6. Applications of quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    Examples include lasers, electron microscopes, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices and the components used in computing hardware. The study of semiconductors led to the invention of the diode and the transistor, which are indispensable parts of modern electronics systems, computer and telecommunications devices.

  7. Particle accelerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_accelerator

    An example of such a next generation electron accelerator is the proposed 40 km long International Linear Collider. It is believed that plasma wakefield acceleration in the form of electron-beam "afterburners" and standalone laser pulsers might be able to provide dramatic increases in efficiency over RF accelerators within two to three decades ...

  8. Electron scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_scattering

    Electron scattering by isolated atoms and molecules occurs in the gas phase. It plays a key role in plasma physics and chemistry and it's important for such applications as semiconductor physics. Electron-molecule/atom scattering is normally treated by means of quantum mechanics.

  9. Relativistic beaming - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativistic_beaming

    In everyday life aberration is a well-known phenomenon. Consider a person standing in the rain on a day when there is no wind. If the person is standing still, then the rain drops will follow a path that is straight down to the ground. However, if the person is moving, for example in a car, the rain will appear to be approaching at an angle.
