Surface Scattering in Nanosciences
This lecture covers the basic theory of diffraction in nanosciences, focusing on surface scattering phenomena, RHEED, and TEM. It explains how electron waves are scattered by high local electron density regions, the de Broglie relation for electron wavelength, and constructive interference in 3D and 2D Bravais lattices. The presentation also discusses organo-metallic particles as magnetic bits, their self-assembly via solvent evaporation, and tunable size range. Additionally, it touches on synchrotron radiation, specifically Bremsstrahlung, and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The content includes examples and practical applications in the field.
