Generation of electron vortices using nonexact electric fields

Vortices in electron beams can manifest several types of topological phenomena, such as the formation of exotic structures or interactions with topologically structured electromagnetic fields. For instance, the wave function of an electron beam can acquire a phase vortex upon propagating through a m...
