Several factors can influence the beam width in nanotechnology applications:
Beam Source: The quality and type of the beam source, such as a laser or electron gun, determine the initial width and divergence of the beam. Optical Elements: Lenses, mirrors, and other optical components used to focus or shape the beam can alter its width. Medium: The medium through which the beam travels can affect its width due to factors like diffraction and scattering. Aberrations: Optical and electronic aberrations can distort the beam profile, thereby affecting the beam width.
