Ultrafast generation of hidden phases via energy-tuned electronic photoexcitation in magnetite

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Thomas La Grange, Benoît Guilhem Michel Binh Truc, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Gabriele Berruto, Francesco Pennacchio, Paolo Usai

Phase transitions occurring in nonequilibrium conditions can evolve through high-energy intermediate states inaccessible via equilibrium adiabatic conditions. Because of the subtle nature of such hidden phases, their direct observation is extremely challen ...

Charge Dynamics Electron Microscopy Nanoscale Imaging of Femtosecond Plasma Dynamics

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Thomas La Grange, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Gabriele Berruto, Ido Kaminer, Simone Gargiulo, Luca Piazza, Francesco Barantani, Tom Theodorus Antonius Lummen

Understanding and actively controlling the spatiotemporal dynamics of nonequilibrium electron clouds is fundamental for the design of light and electron sources, high power electronic devices, and plasma-based applications. However, electron clouds evolve ...

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 ...

Charge Dynamics Electron Microscopy

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Giovanni Maria Vanacore, Gabriele Berruto, Ido Kaminer, Simone Gargiulo, Francesco Barantani

We probe plasma dynamics with nm-fs resolution through electron spectroscopy performed in an ultrafast transmission electron microscope. This approach would allow to disentangle the dynamic evolution of plasma parameters and observe previously inaccessible ...

Nanoscale-femtosecond dielectric response of Mott insulators captured by two-color near-field ultrafast electron microscopy

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Thomas La Grange, Gabriele Berruto, Simone Gargiulo, Francesco Barantani

Characterizing and controlling the out-of-equilibrium state of nanostructured Mott insulators hold great promises for emerging quantum technologies while providing an exciting playground for investigating fundamental physics of strongly-correlated systems. ...

Stacking transition in rhombohedral graphite

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Gabriele Berruto, Tatiana Latychevskaia, Servet Ozdemir

Few-layer graphene (FLG) has recently been intensively investigated for its variable electronic properties, which are defined by a local atomic arrangement. While the most natural arrangement of layers in FLG is ABA (Bernal) stacking, a metastable ABC (rho ...

Fast and ultrafast electron microscopies for skyrmions and plasmonics

Gabriele Berruto

In recent years, topology gained a central role in physics. We learnt that energetics could be often explained better by classes of objects defined by having qualitative differences. In today's jargon, we say they are topologically distinct. The process of ...

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 ...
