Article: New findings from Dalian University of Technology in the area of physics published.

"We consider a charged particle moving parallel to the surface of a metal film covering on the semi-infinite dielectric substrate with constant speed. By means of the linearized quantum hydrodynamic theory, the induced electron gas density and the stopping power are studied, taking into account the quantum statistical and quantum diffraction effects," scientists in People's Republic of China report.

"The calculation results show that an oscillatory wake field appears apparently behind the particle at both of the surfaces of the metal film and the effect of the film thickness on the electron gas density cannot be neglected when film is thinner. Besides, the ...
