Microscopie électronique en transmissionvignette|upright=1.5|Principe de fonctionnement du microscope électronique en transmission. vignette|Un microscope électronique en transmission (1976). La microscopie électronique en transmission (MET, ou TEM pour l'anglais transmission electron microscopy) est une technique de microscopie où un faisceau d'électrons est « transmis » à travers un échantillon très mince. Les effets d'interaction entre les électrons et l'échantillon donnent naissance à une image, dont la résolution peut atteindre 0,08 nanomètre (voire ).
Electron mobilityIn solid-state physics, the electron mobility characterises how quickly an electron can move through a metal or semiconductor when pulled by an electric field. There is an analogous quantity for holes, called hole mobility. The term carrier mobility refers in general to both electron and hole mobility. Electron and hole mobility are special cases of electrical mobility of charged particles in a fluid under an applied electric field. When an electric field E is applied across a piece of material, the electrons respond by moving with an average velocity called the drift velocity, .
Double-slit experimentIn modern physics, the double-slit experiment demonstrates that light and matter can satisfy the seemingly-incongruous classical definitions for both waves and particles, which is considered evidence for the fundamentally probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. This type of experiment was first performed by Thomas Young in 1801, as a demonstration of the wave behavior of visible light. At that time it was thought that light consisted of either waves or particles.
