The Davisson-Germer experiment was a landmark experiment in physics that provided strong evidence for the wave-like nature of electrons, which helped to establish the foundation of quantum mechanics.  The Davisson-Germer experiment used a vacuum tube with a nickel crystal target. Electrons were emitted from a heated filament and accelerated towards the nickel crystal target. The diffraction of the electrons by the nickel crystal lattice produced an interference pattern that provided evidence for the wave nature of matter.
