The incredible optical characteristics of textured metal films are prompting physicists to rethink the laws of optics. An international team of physicists led by Henri Lezec and Thomas Ebbesen of ...

SO-CALLED extra or forbidden rings have been observed from time to time in electron diffraction patterns, and their origin has been attributed to half-order diffractions or impurities. Cases in which ...

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 ...

French scientists reveal that fine patterns on metal films could lead to smaller photonic and electronic devices. The incredible optical characteristics of textured metal films are prompting ...
