  • Shaping Electron Beams for the Generation of Innovative Measurements in the (S)TEM
    Shaping electron beams for the generation of innovative measurements in the (S)TEM Jo Verbeecka, Giulio Guzzinatia, Laura Clarka, Roeland Juchtmansa, Ruben Van Boxema, He Tiana, Armand B´ech´ea, Axel Lubka,b, Gustaaf Van Tendelooa aEMAT, University of Antwerp, Groenenborgerlaan 171, 2020 Antwerp, Belgium bTriebenberglabor, University of Dresden, Zum Triebenberg 1, 01062 Dresden, Germany Abstract In TEM, a typical goal consists of making a small electron probe in the sample plane in order to obtain high spatial resolution in scanning transmission electron microscopy. In order to do so, the phase of the electron wave is corrected to resemble a spherical wave compensating for aberrations in the magnetic lenses. In this contribution we discuss the advantage of changing the phase of an electron wave in a specific way in order to obtain fundamentally different electron probes opening up new application in the (S)TEM. We focus on electron vortex states as a specific family of waves with an azimuthal phase signature and discuss their properties, production and applications. The concepts presented here are rather general and also different classes of probes can be obtained in a similar fashion showing that electron probes can be tuned to optimise a specific measurement or interaction. Keywords: 1. Introduction It was recently predicted, and experimentally demonstrated, that changing the fundamental structure of electron wavefronts, can imbue them with a number of particular properties, enabling new functionality within a conventional transmission electron microscope (TEM) [1{3]. These restructured electron beams, have continuous helical wavefronts, and are thus referred to as electron vortex beams [2, 3].

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Electron-Thz Wave
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Electron-THz Wave Interactions in a Guided Inverse Free Electron Laser A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Physics by Emma Joyce Curry Snively 2018 c Copyright by Emma Joyce Curry Snively 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Electron-THz Wave Interactions in a Guided Inverse Free Electron Laser by Emma Joyce Curry Snively Doctor of Philosophy in Physics University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Pietro Musumeci, Chair The THz frequency regime holds the possibility of a new frontier in advanced accelerator research. In bridging the gap between optical and RF technology, THz-based accelerating structures can retain advantages from both, achieving high field gradients while maintaining large temporal acceptance relative to beam size. These features make THz radiation an exciting tool for beam manipulation, but, thus far, exploration of its application to acceler- ator physics has been limited by the low power of today's THz source technology, typically limited to a µJ-level pulse energy, often in a near single cycle waveform. In this dissertation, we present a guiding technique for phase and group velocity matched interaction between a near single cycle THz pulse and an electron beam copropagating in a magnetic undulator. This \zero-slippage" scheme results in efficient energy exchange, necessary for utilizing a low power THz source, and in extended interaction, necessary for harnessing short and intense THz pulses, along with unique features like broadband coupling and tunable resonance that stem from the waveguide-induced dispersion. We explore the applications of \zero-slippage" coupling in an inverse free electron laser (IFEL), for THz- driven acceleration and beam manipulation, and a free electron laser (FEL), for broadband THz amplification or a stand-alone THz source based on spontaneous superradiance.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO SMUGGLER STATES: POLAND, LATVIA, ESTONIA, AND CONTRABAND TRADE ACROSS THE SOVIET FRONTIER, 1919-1924 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE DIVISION OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY ANDREY ALEXANDER SHLYAKHTER CHICAGO, ILLINOIS DECEMBER 2020 Илюше Abstract Smuggler States: Poland, Latvia, Estonia, and Contraband Trade Across the Soviet Frontier, 1919-1924 What happens to an imperial economy after empire? How do economics, security, power, and ideology interact at the new state frontiers? Does trade always break down ideological barriers? The eastern borders of Poland, Latvia, and Estonia comprised much of the interwar Soviet state’s western frontier – the focus of Moscow’s revolutionary aspirations and security concerns. These young nations paid for their independence with the loss of the Imperial Russian market. Łódź, the “Polish Manchester,” had fashioned its textiles for Russian and Ukrainian consumers; Riga had been the Empire’s busiest commercial port; Tallinn had been one of the busiest – and Russians drank nine-tenths of the potato vodka distilled on Estonian estates. Eager to reclaim their traditional market, but stymied by the Soviet state monopoly on foreign trade and impatient with the slow grind of trade talks, these countries’ businessmen turned to the porous Soviet frontier. The dissertation reveals how, despite considerable misgivings, their governments actively abetted this traffic. The Polish and Baltic struggles to balance the heady profits of the “border trade” against a host of security concerns shaped everyday lives and government decisions on both sides of the Soviet frontier.

    Graphene Travelling Wave Amplifier for Integrated Millimeter-Wave/Terahertz Systems by Naimeh Ghafarian A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2018 c Naimeh Ghafarian 2018 Examining Committee Membership The following served on the Examining Committee for this thesis. The decision of the Examining Committee is by majority vote.

This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. iii Abstract Terahertz (THz) technology offers exciting possibilities for various applications, includ- ing high resolution biomedical imaging, long-wavelength spectroscopy, security monitoring, communications, quality control, and process monitoring. However, the lack of efficient high power easy-to-integrate sources and highly sensitive detectors has created a bottle- neck in developing THz technology. In an attempt to address this issue, this dissertation proposes a new type of graphene-based solid state travelling wave amplifier (TWA).
