Modulation of electron wave packets by scattering on time-harmonic potentials

Aps.org·September 28, 2026

The coherent interaction between free electrons and optical near-fields enables the active modulation of electron wave packets, which is a mechanism central to photon-induced near-field electron microscopy (PINEM). While existing theories effectively describe…
