Theory and applications of free-electron vortex states

K. Y. Bliokh, I. P. Ivanov, G. Guzzinati +8

Both classical and quantum waves can form vortices: with helical phase fronts and azimuthal current densities. These features determine the intrinsic orbital angular momentum carri…

Extension of Friedel's law to Vortex Beam Diffraction

Roeland Juchtmans, Giulio Guzzinati, Jo Verbeeck

Friedel's law states that the modulus of the Fourier transform of real functions is centrosymmetric, while the phase is antisymmetric. As a consequence of this, elastic scattering…

Investigation into spiral phase plate contrast in optical and electron microscopy

Roeland Juchtmans, Laura Clark, Axel Lubk +1

The use of phase plates in the back focal plane of a microscope is a well established technique in optical microscopy to increase the contrast of weakly interacting samples and is…

Local orbital angular momentum revealed by spiral phase plate imaging in transmission electron microscopy

Roeland Juchtmans, Jo Verbeeck

The orbital angular momentum (OAM) of light and matter waves is a parameter that is getting increasingly more attention over the past couple of years. Beams with a well defined OAM…

Orbital angular momentum in electron diffraction and its use to determine chiral crystal symmetries

Roeland Juchtmans, Jo Verbeeck

In this work we present an alternative way to look at electron diffraction in a transmission electron microscope. In stead of writing the scattering amplitude in Fourier space as a…

Prospects for versatile phase manipulation in the TEM: beyond aberration correction

Giulio Guzzinati, Laura Clark, Armand Béché +4

In this paper we explore the desirability of a transmission electron microscope in which the phase of the electron wave can be freely controlled. We discuss different existing meth…

Using electron vortex beams to determine chirality of crystals in transmission electron microscopy

Roeland Juchtmans, Armand Béché, Artem Abakumov +2

We investigate electron vortex beams elastically scattered on chiral crystals. After deriving a general expression for the scattering amplitude of a vortex electron, we study its d…

Shaping electron beams for the generation of innovative measurements in the (S)TEM

Jo Verbeeck, Giulio Guzzinati, Laura Clark +6

In TEM, a typical goal consists of making a small electron probe in the sample plane in order to obtain high spatial resolution in scanning transmission electron microscopy. In ord…
