Ultrafast All-Electron Microscopy
Atoms and electrons are the central building blocks of almost all materials around us. Whenever there is a process or change, the atoms and the electrons have to move from initial to final configurations. These movements are very fast and very small: nanometers to picometers in space and femtoseconds to attoseconds in time. Ultrafast electron microscopy can provide a movie-like access, but we can only see processes that are excited by laser light, although reaction phenomena in nature do not need such a specific stimulus, far outside the energy range of a natural environment. This project has two major aims. (a) We will use ultrashort electron pulses not only to probe but also to trigger…
