electron density profile
An electron density profile describes how electrons are distributed within a material or across an interface, such as between different layers in a sample. It shows where electrons are most concentrated and how this concentration changes with depth or position. This information helps scientists understand the structure, composition, and properties of materials at the atomic level. Think of it like a weather map, but instead of weather patterns, it maps electron concentrations, revealing how electrons are arranged and how they influence the material’s behavior.
