Diffraction theory describes how wave fields—acoustic, electromagnetic or quantum—interact with obstacles and apertures, producing characteristic patterns of scattering and interference. At its heart ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

Light scattering as the basis for size determination of many objects has been explored for a long time. It was Gustav Mie, author of the Mie Scattering Theory, who studied gold nanoparticles in ...
