Nanoscale structuring of tungsten tip yields most coherent electron point-source

This report demonstrates the most spatially-coherent electron source ever reported. A coherence angle of 14.3 ± 0.5° was measured, indicating a virtual source size of 1.7 ± 0.6 Å using an extraction voltage of 89.5 V. The nanotips under study were crafted using a spatially-confined, field-assisted n...
