Abstract

When electron beams of low energy (E < 25 eV (say), λ > .25nm) pass through matter, effects should occur analogous to optical activity and rotary dichroism in light-optics. The possible effects are described, and are discussed on the basis of Born's explanation of optical activity. In light-optics optical activity is observed more easily than is rotary dichroism; the opposite is expected in electron-optics. The possibility of observing these effects in electron-scattering from asymmetric molecules is discussed in relation to experiments, performed and proposed.
