Electron Affinity
The ionization energy or ionization potential is the energy necessary to remove an electron from the neutral atom. It is a minimum for the alkali metals which have a single electron outside a closed ...
Rotating Wave Theory of the Electron
A new theory of the electron which attempts to explain, charge, mass, gravity and quantum mechanics by treating the electron as a rotating wave.
Electron Configurations Java Applet
Chemistry really but shows how electron shells are filled up in atoms
Electron and Positron
As one of the leptons, the electron is viewed as one of the fundamental particles.
Life, the Universe and the Electron
A site from the Science Museum and Institute of Physics celebrating the centenary of the discovery of the electron.
Hyperphysics - Electron Capture
Description of radioactive process of electron capture with good links to other sites.
Free Electron Laser
Many features of the dynamics of free electron lasers can be understood using a simple pendulum model. This site uses JAVA applets to demonstrate this.
Electron Spin
An introduction to electron spin with links of to other topics such as fine structure.
Electron Diffraction
Electrons are charged, light particles and their penetration into solids is very limited so it is therefore considered to be a surface technique. This site gives a good understanding of electron ...
Electron Interference
A well described page explaining electron interference. There is a very good multimedia example of this effect - showing the interference pattern produced by firing electrons through two slits.
