Ultrafast electron diffraction using an ultracold source
The study of structural dynamics of complex macromolecular crystals using electrons requires bunches of sufficient coherence and charge. We present diffraction patterns from graphite, obtained with bunches from an ultracold electron source, based on femtosecond near-threshold photoionization of a laser-cooled atomic gas. By varying the photoionization wavelength, we change the effective source ...
متن کاملUltracold Electron Source for Ultrafast Electron Diffraction
Single-shot ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) was introduced as a viable way to measure ultrafast processes, such as structural transitions in materials. For UED, the dynamics in a sample are induced by a femtosecond laser pulse and ultrashort electron bunches are used to probe the ultrafast processes in the sample. The ultracold charged particle cloud (UCPC) source researched in this work i...

متن کاملUltracold electron source.
We propose a technique for producing electron bunches that has the potential for advancing the state-of-the-art in brightness of pulsed electron sources by orders of magnitude. In addition, this method leads to femtosecond bunch lengths without the use of ultrafast lasers or magnetic compression. The electron source we propose is an ultracold plasma with electron temperatures down to 10 K, whic...
متن کاملFemtosecond Electron Guns for Ultrafast Electron Diffraction*
The photocathode radio-frequency (RF) gun is a powerful electron source to generate a high-brightness femtosecond electron beam with energies of 1~3 MeV. The RF gun based relativistic ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) is a promising new technique that has the potential to probe directly structural changes at the atomic scale with sub-100 fs temporal resolution. In this paper, we analyze the ...
