An Ultracold Electron Source for Ultrafast Electron Diffraction Experiments

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We have developed an electron source that creates ultrashort, ultracold electron bunches by accelerating electrons which are created by pulsed near-threshold photoionization of a cloud of laser-cooled atoms. Because of the very high coherence length of these bunches, we can use the source to perform ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) experiments on crystals of macromolecules.
