Abstract
By diffracting slow electrons on crystals, one obtains polarized Bragg reflections if spin-orbit coupling or—in the case of magnetic materials—exchange interaction plays a role. The analysis of electron-molecule scattering is facilitated when electrons which are scattered by certain atoms of a molecule are labeled by their polarization. In electron microscopy, electron polarization has no significance at present. Irradiation of organic molecules with polarized electrons seems to give a clue as to the origin of the one-handedness of nature. Polarized-electron experiments would provide information in high-energy physics that cannot be obtained from cross-section measurements alone.
