Abstract
We propose that high-energy electrons when scattered from random media reveal a backscattered peak similar to that found recently for optical waves. However, unlike electromagnetic waves, an antibackscattered peak will appear when spin-orbit scattering is strong. The antienhancement of the backscattered electrons is unique to three-dimensional systems and is absent for two-dimensional systems where a reduced backscattered peak is predicted. Possible experimental realizations are proposed.
