研究目的
To demonstrate interference fringes of a spin-polarized electron beam using a newly installed biprism and to investigate the spatial coherence of picosecond pulsed beam in the SP-TEM.
研究成果
The SP-TEM can provide a coherent pulsed electron beam for time-resolved phase-imaging in a transmission electron microscope. Despite its high current density, the pulsed electron beam emitted from the photocathode has sufficient coherence to realize a time-resolved holography that can analyze phase information in a temporal space.
研究不足
The space charge effect in the high charge condition was observed, which could affect the interference fringe. However, a component of the interference fringe can remain due to the acceleration design in the electron gun.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The experiment involved pulse beam emission and measurements of electron holograms in the SP-TEM with an ultrashort-laser. The cathode used was a semiconductor pulse photocathode with a GaAs-GaAsP-strained superlattice structure to control the spin polarization and the temporal structure of the emitted electron beam.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The photocathode had a maximum polarization of about 90% at a wavelength of 780 nm. A drive laser with a diameter of 1.8 μm was focused on the photocathode surface.
3:8 μm was focused on the photocathode surface.
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: The setup included an electron biprism with a positive bias voltage of the filament, a pulsed laser with a central wavelength of 780 nm, a repetition frequency of 80 MHz, and a 16-ps pulse duration, and a combination of ultrafast electric detectors and an imaging sensor.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The pulsed electron beam emitted from the photocathode surface was accelerated to a voltage of 30 kV over a traveled distance of 8 mm. The pulse duration of the laser was measured by optical interferometric autocorrelation with a non-linear crystal.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The electron holograms of the electron pulse beams were measured by an electron biprism. The intensity of the pulse laser was tuned continuously by a polarized beam splitter and a half-wave plate.
