  • Atomic Physics
DEF

The deflection of the path of electrons as they pass through a solid (typically a metal, semiconductor, or insulator).

OBS

Deflections, or collisions, are caused by electrostatic forces operating between the negatively charged electrons and atoms within the solid ... These forces reduce the speed of the electrons, thereby limiting the performance.
