When an intense laser pulse hits a stationary electron, it performs a trembling motion at the frequency of the light field.

Electric (plasma) propulsion devices have been used for applications such as station-keeping and orbit transfer, in place of chemical rockets, because they provide a higher specific impulse. Detailed ...

The quantum Hall effect (QHE) is one of the most important effects being studied by solid-state physicists today. Measuring the limits at which it breaks down is extremely important – not only for ...

Ubiquitous in the field of electric propulsion, thermionic hollow cathodes are electron sources which utilize thermionic emission from a low work function insert material to achieve large extracted ...
