Hello,
was wondering a couple of details on the wave nature of electrons and the state of the art in this field. In particular:
I'm asking all this because I'm wondering if there's a way to exploit the wave nature of electrons to create very deep electrostatic potential wells.
Appreciate the info.
was wondering a couple of details on the wave nature of electrons and the state of the art in this field. In particular:
- Is it practical and possible (easily) to create a cm sized electron interference pattern (fringes are in the cm size magnitude). I have so far seen Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED) which seems to be able to create wave lengths that are permissive to this kind of thing...
- Is it possible to create a standing wave of electrons similar to the way a microwave oven creates standing microwaves (with hot and cool spots).
- What does it mean from a quantum perspective for an electron to be constructively/destructively interfered with? Does its charge get "amplified" the same way a light wave becomes brighter?
