The ejected Auger electron transfers momentum to the whole ‘rigid’ molecule without breaking the symmetry (region near equilibrium, R0). c, Einstein–Bohr recoiling double-slit with ...

Ab initio calculations of the halogenation and electron-induced reactions support a model in which asymmetric forces between the molecule and the surface induce rotation and therefore migration.

By adjusting the X-ray energy, the researchers can promote an electron from an inner molecular orbital into either a high-energy bound state or a repulsive state in which the molecule breaks apart.

Theoretically, fermionic DM should thus induce electronic recoiling signals in liquid xenon detectors that could be experimentally detected. In their second study, the PandaX-4T collaboration ...

The COLTRIMS technique enabled them to measure the momentum vectors of not just scattered electrons, but also the recoiling helium ions from individual scattering events. The team focused on ...
