High-purity free-electron momentum states prepared by three-dimensional optical phase modulation
We demonstrate the quantized transfer of photon energy and transverse momentum to a high-coherence electron beam. In an ultrafast transmission electron microscope, a three-dimensional phase modulation of the electron wave function is induced by transmitting the beam through a laser-illuminated thin...
