  • The Davisson-Germer accident
  • Lucky breaks & 2nd honeymoons
  • The electron wavelength
  • The annealed sample

    • References to Krane's textbook:   Davisson Germer experiment and DeBroglie waves, 100-10;   the electron microscope and the scanning tunneling microscope, plates facing 304

    The Rutherford Scattering Experiment

  • Experimental setup
  • Closest approach
  • Uniform sphere
  • How small?
