Longitudinal and transverse modulation of electron wave function with light, and its application to electron microscopy

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Enrico Pomarico, Gabriele Berruto, Ido Kaminer

Conventional electron microscopy operates with flat electron wave fronts. Employing attenuative or electrostatic phase plates allows transversally modulating the wave front, enhancing cross-sections of particular scattering channels. Utilization of light f ...

Electron Dynamics in Anatase TiO2 Nanoparticles by Ultrafast Broadband Deep-Ultraviolet Spectroscopy

Majed Chergui, Edoardo Baldini, Enrico Pomarico, Tania Palmieri, Gerald Auböck

The optical bandgap of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles is dominated by bulk absorption bands in the deep-ultraviolet due to strongly bound excitons. These spectral features can be utilized as a sensitive probe of carrier and lattice dynamics inside the TiO2 nan ...

A multi-scale time-resolved study of photoactivated dynamics in 5-benzyl uracil, a model for DNA/protein interactions

Majed Chergui, Enrico Pomarico, Mohammadhassan Valadan

We combine fluorescence up-conversion and time correlated single photon counting experiments to investigate the 5-benzyl uracil excited state dynamics in methanol from 100 fs up to several ns. This molecule has been proposed as a model for DNA/protein inte ...

Ultrafast generation and control of an electron vortex beam via chiral plasmonic near fields

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Enrico Pomarico, Gabriele Berruto, Ido Kaminer, Brett Eugene Barwick, Ebrahim Karimi

Vortex-carrying matter waves, such as chiral electron beams, are of significant interest in both applied and fundamental science. Continuous-wave electron vortex beams are commonly prepared via passive phase masks imprinting a transverse phase modulation o ...

Holographic imaging of electromagnetic fields via electron-light quantum interference

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Enrico Pomarico, Gabriele Berruto, Tatiana Latychevskaia, Tom Theodorus Antonius Lummen

Holography relies on the interference between a known reference and a signal of interest to reconstruct both the amplitude and the phase of that signal. With electrons, the extension of holography to the ultrafast time domain remains a challenge, although ...

Attosecond coherent control of free-electron wave functions using semi-infinite light fields

Fabrizio Carbone, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Ivan Madan, Enrico Pomarico, Gabriele Berruto, Ido Kaminer, Brett Eugene Barwick

Light–electron interaction is the seminal ingredient in free-electron lasers and dynamical investigation of matter. Pushing the coherent control of electrons by light to the attosecond timescale and below would enable unprecedented applications in quantum ...

Phonon-Driven Selective Modulation of Exciton Oscillator Strengths in Anatase TiO2Nanoparticles

Majed Chergui, Edoardo Baldini, Tania Palmieri, Enrico Pomarico, Thomas Charles Henry Rossi, Malte Oppermann, Gerald Auböck

The way nuclear motion affects electronic responses has become a very hot topic in materials science. Coherent acoustic phonons can dynamically modify optical, magnetic, and mechanical properties at ultrasonic frequencies, with promising applications as se ...

Laser-Induced Skyrmion Writing and Erasing in an Ultrafast Cryo-Lorentz Transmission Electron Microscope

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Enrico Pomarico, Gabriele Berruto, Ping Huang, Yoshie Murooka

We demonstrate that light-induced heat pulses of different duration and energy can write Skyrmions in a broad range of temperatures and magnetic field in FeGe. Using a combination of camera-rate and pump- probe cryo-Lorentz transmission electron microscopy ...
