Quantum theory of electronic double-slit diffraction
Abstract
The phenomena of electron, neutron, atomic and molecular diffraction have been studied by many experiments, and these experiments are explained by some theoretical works. In this paper, we study electronic double-slit diffraction with quantum mechanical approach. We can obtain the results: (1) When the slit width is in the range of we can obtain the obvious diffraction patterns. (2) when the ratio of , order are missing in diffraction pattern. (3)When the ratio of , there isn't missing order in diffraction pattern. (4) We also find a new quantum mechanics effect that the slit thickness has a large affect to the electronic diffraction patterns. We think all the predictions in our work can be tested by the electronic double-slit diffraction experiment.
