Charge Dynamics Electron Microscopy Nanoscale Imaging of Femtosecond Plasma Dynamics

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

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 ...

Simultaneous observation of the quantization and the interference pattern of a plasmonic near-field

Fabrizio Carbone, Luca Piazza, Brett Eugene Barwick, Yoshie Murooka, Tom Theodorus Antonius Lummen

Surface plasmon polaritons can confine electromagnetic fields in subwavelength spaces and are of interest for photonics, optical data storage devices and biosensing applications. In analogy to photons, they exhibit wave-particle duality, whose different as ...

Design and implementation of a fs-Transmission Electron Microscope for time-resolved studies of strongly correlated systems and nanostructures

Luca Piazza

The integration of ultrafast laser systems with transmission electron microscopes led to the extension of conventional electron microscopy (PINEM) to the 4th dimension, time, and new techniques as photon-induced near-field electron microscopy became availa ...

A proposal for fs-electron microscopy experiments on high-energy excitations in solids

Fabrizio Carbone, Luca Piazza

Recent advances in ultrafast technology enable both the study and the control of materials properties thanks to the ability to record high temporal resolution movies of their transformations, or the ability to generate new states of matter by selecting ad ...

Ultrafast structural and electronic dynamics of the metallic phase in a layered manganite

Fabrizio Carbone, Andreas Helmut Christian Mann, Luca Piazza

The transition between different states in manganites can be driven by various external stimuli. Controlling these transitions with light opens the possibility to investigate the microscopic path through which they evolve. We performed femtosecond (fs) tra ...

Design and implementation of a fs-resolved transmission electron microscope based on thermionic gun technology

Fabrizio Carbone, Luca Piazza, Brett Eugene Barwick

In this paper, the design and implementation of a femtosecond-resolved ultrafast transmission electron microscope is presented, based on a thermionic gun geometry. Utilizing an additional magnetic lens between the electron acceleration and the nominal cond ...
