The diffraction spikes so familiar to us in space images are an intrinsic property of the telescope. Reflecting telescopes have two mirrors: a large primary and a smaller secondary. Light hits the ...
Understanding diffraction and dispersion is key to optical science, influencing technologies like spectroscopy, fiber optics, ...
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 242, No. 856 (Sep. 12, 1950), pp. 579-607 (29 pages) An analysis is made of the ...
Definition: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. By measuring the angles and intensities of diffracted beams ...
A theoretical astrophysicist may have solved a nearly two-decade-old mystery over the origins of an unusual 'zebra' pattern seen in high-frequency radio pulses from the Crab Nebula. A theoretical ...
What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...
