Media Article Summary

1368 Words3 Pages

The media article first describes how atom has a huge influence on the motion of an electron when it is emitted. It is by the interactions inside the atom when electrons that are being photemitted becomes trapped under a surface that strongly determines how long and how fast the electrons are. The author(s) compare the motion of the electrons to a dance and a race. The electrons that "dances" longer around the atom will become the last ones in the race as they are emitted last. In this sense, the electrons that "dances" less and take a straighter path will be emitted first and thus, be the first ones to finish the race. The media article went on to describe the experiment that took place at Bielefeld University. The researchers used an advanced attosecond time-resolved laser spectroscopy to time how fast the electrons were. The material used was tungsten diselenide that allowed four photoelectron emissions channels that each had their own unique initial state properties. In addition, the author(s) notes how this experiment of the electron race was measured in the conditions where the intra-atomic motion and the propagation in the …show more content…

For the media article, there were no strict sections that the article was divided into. However, each paragraph of the article was mainly focused on one topic. The article started with a picture showing an emitted electron that came from a tungsten atom of a semiconductor, the tungsten diselenide. Underneath was a short description explaining the picture which was about the emitted electron. After the picture and the description, a brief information paragraph about what the article is about is written. Following this paragraph begins the actual article. The paragraph's topics of the article starts with who was involved in the research, followed by describing electrons and its motions, how the electrons were timed, what was included with the measured electron, and a more detailed descriptions of the techniques used in the
