Electron scattering is a process in which electrons are directed towards a target material, and their trajectories are altered as a result of interactions with the target’s atoms, nuclei, or electrons. This phenomenon is fundamental in various fields of physics and has important applications in understanding atomic structure, particle physics, and materials science. **Key Concepts:** 1. **Types of Scattering:** - **Elastic Scattering:** The kinetic energy of the electrons is conserved, although their direction may change.
