In physics, "channeling" refers to a phenomenon that occurs when charged particles, such as electrons or ions, are directed through a crystalline material in a way that allows them to travel along specific crystallographic directions. In this scenario, the particles follow paths that minimize their scattering with the lattice atoms of the crystal, which can enhance their energy and directional stability. Channeling is largely observed in semiconductor physics, ion beam technology, and materials science.
