#compton scattering

13.1 Introduction to Compton Scattering Compton scattering is a phenomenon that occurs when an incident photon interacts with a free or weakly bound electron, resulting in a decrease in the energy (increase in the wavelength) of the scattered photon. This interaction demonstrates both the wave-like and particle-like nature of electromagnetic radiation, as it can be explained by considering…

New research shows previously unknown way light interacts with matter #research #photoemission #semiconductor #silicon #photon #optical

In a recent issue of ACS Nano, researchers have discovered a previously unknown way that light interacts with matter. In the finding, photons can obtain substantial momentum, much like electrons in solid material, when confined to nanometer-scale spaces within silicon. This discovery may lead to improved solar panels, LEDs, lasers, and a variety of other technological advancements. The paper’s…

Introduction Scattering theory is a framework in physics that is used to study and understand the interactions of particles and fields. It is especially important in quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and particle physics, as well as in classical wave phenomena like light scattering. Basic Principle Scattering involves an incident wave or particle that is forced to deviate from a…

Compton scattering is scattering of a photon by a charged particle (usually an electron). Compton effect is decrease in energy (increase in wavelength) of the photon after scattering. It was discovered by Arthur Holly Compton,

It is an example of inelastic scattering of light by a free charged particle, where the wavelength of the scattered light is different from that of the incident radiation.
