  • Their work provided critical proof for Einstein's position by clearly demonstrating the principle of the conservation of energy in these interactions and that their detections were the result of specific causally related single-particle interactions with single electrons.

  • To further explore the deep trap phenomenon, a group of scientists led by Professors of Chemistry and Biochemistry Paul Barbara and Allen Bard developed a single-particle technique to study small portions of semiconductor material at the nanoscale.

  • Bohmian mechanics is manifestly nonlocal: The velocity, as expressed in the guiding equation, of any one of the particles of a many-particle system will typically depend upon the positions of the other, possibly distant, particles whenever the wave function of the system is entangled, i.e., not a product of single-particle wave functions.

  • Once it has been realized that shell effects are important to understand various phenomena, the (collective) liquid drop model has been put aside and the (single-particle) shell model has been developed to account for these findings.

  • Aerosol single-particle volume in each size bin of each distribution is calculated as the sum of solution and nonsolution volumes in the bin.

  • In the limit, you end up with the electron, a single-particle state, with the smallest possible energy.

  • Each set of particles was photographed with a scanning electron microscope and then analyzed for its absorption and scattering properties via single-particle photothermal imaging and laser dark-field scattering.
