Atomic beam is special case of particle beam; it is the collimated flux (beam) of neutral atoms.
The imaging systems using the slow atomic beams can use the Fresnel zone plate (Fresnel diffraction lens) of a Fresnel diffraction mirror as focusing element. The imaging system with atomic beam could provide the sub-micrometre resolution.
Researchers from the University of Ottawa have demonstrated that using specially structured light beams known as optical vortex beams makes it possible to influence the way electrons are ejected from atoms with remarkable precision.
... with carbon atoms in diamonds forming repeated, predictable patterns in space ... They then exposed it to high-energy nitrogen beams, displacing carbon atoms and creating microscopic vacancies.
It’s been burning in his eyes with the intensity of those laser-like atomic heat beams that shot from Godzilla, in the Japanese movies Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate were brought up on, to take down King Ghidorah and Biollante in his own local derbies ... .
These panels generate electricity using solar energy, which could then be converted to microwave radiation and beamed down to Earth. Close-up illustration of atomic particle for nuclear energy imagery. Image source. Ezume Images/Adobe...Don'tMiss ... .
How “writing with atoms” improves materials is FORNL talk topic Mar ... The technique enables the team to place the atoms exactly where they are needed to give a material new, desirable properties. “Building Materials and Devices with AtomicPrecision.
Lastly, in the atomic structure of steel beams. ... Looking at a steel beam it seems inconceivable that it is composed of atomic particles which are in motion… ... our way of understanding steel beams.
