Observation of quantum states of fast electrons in planar channeling

A preferred population of discrete quantum states of channeled electrons was observed in the measurements of the orientational dependences of angular distributions of the 4.9-MeV electrons transmitted through a 2-/xm silicon crystal along the (110) atomic planes. This opens the possibility of controlling the electron flux in the crystal and establishing spontaneous and induced processes in the radiation and absorption of energy by the original, free beam.
