  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. 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 ...

  4. 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.

  5. Multipactor effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipactor_effect

    The electron cloud moves between the inner and outer conductor in resonance, causing an electron avalanche: in 5 nanoseconds, the number of electrons increases 150×. [ 1 ] The multipactor effect occurs when electrons accelerated by radio-frequency (RF) fields are self-sustained in a vacuum (or near vacuum) via an electron avalanche caused by ...

  6. Steric effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steric_effects

    Regioselective dimethoxytritylation of the primary 5'-hydroxyl group of thymidine in the presence of a free secondary 3'-hydroxy group as a result of steric hindrance due to the dimethoxytrityl group and the ribose ring (Py = pyridine). [2] Steric hindrance is a consequence of steric effects. Steric hindrance is the slowing of chemical ...

  7. Free electron model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_electron_model

    In solid-state physics, the free electron model is a quantum mechanical model for the behaviour of charge carriers in a metallic solid. It was developed in 1927, [1] principally by Arnold Sommerfeld, who combined the classical Drude model with quantum mechanical Fermi–Dirac statistics and hence it is also known as the Drude–Sommerfeld model.

  8. Localized surface plasmon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localized_surface_plasmon

    The oscillation frequency is determined by the density of electrons, the effective electron mass, and the size and shape of the charge distribution. [1] The LSP has two important effects: electric fields near the particle's surface are greatly enhanced and the particle's optical absorption has a maximum at the plasmon resonant frequency .

  9. Electron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron

    In the free-electron laser (FEL), a relativistic electron beam passes through a pair of undulators that contain arrays of dipole magnets whose fields point in alternating directions. The electrons emit synchrotron radiation that coherently interacts with the same electrons to strongly amplify the radiation field at the resonance frequency.
