Scanning confocal electron microscopy (SCEM) is a new imaging mode in electron microscopy. Spherical aberration corrected electron microscope instruments fitted with two aberration correctors can be used in this mode which provides improved depth resolution and selectivity compared to optical sectioning in a conventional scanning transmission geometry. In this article, we consider the depth res...

The electron cloud induced by the LHC beam in the SPS occurs mainly in the dipoles and it is responsible for strong transverse instabilities. In the horizontal plane a coupled bunch mode instability develops in a few tens of turns at injection. Tune shift measurements, mode number and phase space analyses have been performed at different energies and provide information about the electron cloud...

A resolvent formalism is applied to the problem of inelastic scattering of an electron linearly coupled to a set of phonon modes. It is shown how the many phonon mode coupling and excitation can be reduced to a single phonon mode description, consistent with other approaches to the phenomenon of inelastic tunneling in heterostructures. A unifying connection is made with the phenomena of resonan...

The effect of turbulent electron diffusion from stochastic electron orbits on the stability of low beta fluctuations is considered. A set of coupled self-adjoint equations is derived for the fluctuation potentials and A,,. For the tearing mode, it is shown that stability is obtained for sufficiently large values of the diffusion coefficient, Provided D, 1/n, this implies that a density threshol...

The coupling of plasmonic nanoparticles can strongly modify their optical properties. Here, we show that the coupling of the edges within a single rectangular particle leads to mode splitting and the formation of bonding and antibonding edge modes. We are able to unambiguously designate the modes due to the high spatial resolution of electron microscopy-based electron energy loss spectroscopy a...

Electron interference in mesoscopic devices irradiated by external non-classical microwaves, is considered. In the case of one-mode microwaves, it is shown that both the average intensity and the spectral density of the interfering electrons are sensitive to the quantum noise of the microwaves. The results for various quantum states of the microwaves are compared and contrasted with the classic...

Abstract. This work discusses the first numerical simulation results of fishbone excitation by a suprathermal electron population due to, e.g., electron cyclotron resonance heating and/or lower hybrid wave current drive. The precession resonance underlying the linear instability is clearly identified. Meanwhile, mode saturation is shown to occur because of the secular resonant particle motion, ...

In a two orbital double exchange model we formulate Jahn-Teller coupled charge density wave in half-filled limit. Softening of Jahn-Teller phonons corresponding to distortion modes Q2 or Q3 associated with perfect nesting of Fermi surface leads to this instability at low temperature. The gap equation for charge density wave state and its dependences on electron-lattice coupling are calculated e...

Multipactor breakdown analysis is presented in cylindrical dielectric resonator waveguide filter under its dual-mode behavior. The method of effective electron algorithm with combination of Monte-Carlo method is used to perform the simulation and predict multipactor breakdown thresholds. The breakdown thresholds of the proposed structure are presented for different values of frequency-gap produ...
