This random change of composition means energies of electrons in different regions are different,» said Claude Weisbuch, a leading figure in semiconductor physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and co-recipient (with James Speck, also of UCSB) of a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to use the landscape function to develop better green LEDs.

The 12 GeV Upgrade is a $ 338 million project that, in addition to doubling the maximum energy of the electron beams in Jefferson Lab's accelerator, also includes the construction of a fourth experimental hall and upgrades to equipment in the existing halls. (sciencedaily.com)
The electrons were investigated using a scintillator — a block of plastics that converts the kinetic energy of the electrons into light. (sciencedaily.com)
