Abstract:
We are in an information era. Electrons appear everywhere in our life. After a brief review of the history of the discovery of the electron and its duality characters, I will discuss our recent experiments on the chaotic motion of electrons related to the impurity center in the semiconductors and in the anisotropic solid state environments. The chaotic behavior of electrons is revealed and confirmed by the quasi-Landau resonance in the ionization spectroscopy of the impurity, and by abnormal energy level spacing distribution, which are related to the Kepler problem several hundreds year ago.

Physics colloquium series is organized to introduce cutting edge researches and new development in physics, designed to be suitable to graduate and undergraduate students, and also to scientists working on different fields. Each colloquium will generally start with an extensive introduction of the background of the field, followed by forefront research topics and results. The colloquium will serve as an education forum for students and laymen alike, and also serve as a platform for exchange and update their knowledge of various branches of physics among academic staff members.
