A macroscopic test of the Aharonov-Bohm effect (2007)

Caprez, Adam, Barwick, Brett, Batelaan, Herman

The Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect is a purely quantum mechanical effect. The original (classified as Type-I) AB-phase shift exists in experimental conditions where the electromagnetic fields and forces...

Laser-induced ultrafast electron emission from a field emission tip (2007)

Barwick, Brett, Corder, Chris, Strohaber, James, Chandler-Smith, Nate, Uiterwaal, Cornelis, Batelaan, Herman

We show that a field emission tip electron source that is triggered with a femtosecond laser pulse can generate electron pulses shorter than the laser pulse duration (~100 fs). The emission process...

A three grating electron interferometer (2006)

Gronniger, Glen, Barwick, Brett, Batelaan, Herman

We report the observation of fringes from a three grating electron interferometer. Interference fringes have been observed at low energies ranging from 6 keV to 10 keV. Contrasts of up to 25% are...
