  2. Electron-cloud effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron-cloud_effect

    Electron clouds are created when accelerated charged particles disturb stray electrons already floating in the tube, and bounce or slingshot the electrons into the wall. These stray electrons can be photo-electrons from synchrotron radiation or electrons from ionized gas molecules.

  3. Charge radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charge_radius

    The qualification of "rms" (root mean square) arises because it is the nuclear cross-section, proportional to the square of the radius, which is determining for electron scattering. This definition of charge radius is often applied to composite hadrons such as a proton, neutron, pion, or kaon, that are made up of more than one quark.

  4. Atom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom

    The electron cloud is a region inside the potential well where each electron forms a type of three-dimensional standing wave—a wave form that does not move relative to the nucleus. This behavior is defined by an atomic orbital , a mathematical function that characterises the probability that an electron appears to be at a particular location ...

  5. Resolution (structural biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Resolution_(structural_biology)

    In structural biology, resolution can be broken down into 4 groups: (1) sub-atomic, when information about the electron density is obtained and quantum effects can be studied, (2) atomic, individual atoms are visible and an accurate three-dimensional model can be constructed, (3) helical, secondary structure, such as alpha helices and beta sheets; RNA helices (in ribosomes), (4) domain, no ...

  6. Nuclear structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_structure

    This essential simplification of the problem is the cornerstone of mean field theories. These are also widely used in atomic physics, where electrons move in a mean field due to the central nucleus and the electron cloud itself.

  7. Hyperfine structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfine_structure

    In atomic physics, hyperfine structure is defined by small shifts in otherwise degenerate electronic energy levels and the resulting splittings in those electronic energy levels of atoms, molecules, and ions, due to electromagnetic multipole interaction between the nucleus and electron clouds.

  8. Electron scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_scattering

    Pictorial description of how an electron beam may interact with a sample with nucleus N, and electron cloud of electron shells K,L,M. Showing transmitted electrons and elastic/inelastically scattered electrons. SE is a Secondary Electron ejected by the beam electron, emitting a characteristic photon (X-Ray) γ.

  9. Nuage (cell biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuage_(cell_biology)

    Nuage are the hallmark of Drosophila melanogaster germline cells, which have an electron-dense perinuclear structure and can silence the selfish genetic elements in Drosophila melanogaster. [1] The term 'Nuage' comes from the French word for 'cloud', as they appear as nebulous electron-dense bodies by electron microscopy.
