Electron composition and electron division |
Electron bubbles form when the van der Waals force of attraction
between atoms is weak enough to allow an electron to push them apart,
as in liquid helium just above absolute zero. The electron displaces
more than 700 helium atoms creating a cavity about 38 angstroms in
diameter. The resulting area can then be excited by photons of the
correct frequency to produce stretching and ultimately division.
Can an electron's wave function actually divide?

Wave functions split when they encounter potential barriers. There is a
reflected component and a transmitted component. The actual particle
doesn't behave this way, if that's what you're asking about.
