Ultrafast TEM: probing nanoscale dynamics with coherent electron pulses — •Armin Feist1, Nara Rubiano da Silva1, Thomas Danz1, Marcel Möller1, Nora Bach1, Katharina E.

Over the past decades, ultrafast techniques have shaped a rich picture of materials dynamics in spatially homogenous systems. Extending these concepts, ultrafast transmission electron microscopy (UTEM) combines the versatile imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy capabilities of state-of-the-art TEM with femtosecond temporal resolution achieved by a laser pump/electron probe scheme [1,2].

Here, we demonstrate local diffractive probing and phase-contrast imaging with nm-/fs- spatio-temporal resolution. The Göttingen UTEM instrument features photoemission from a nanoscale photocathode, delivering high coherence electron pulses of 0.6 eV energy width, down to sub-1 nm focal spot size, 200 fs pulse duration [2] and attosecond capability [3]. In particular, we employ ultrafast convergent beam electron diffraction (U-CBED) for the quantitative retrieval of the time- and space-dependent local deformation gradient tensor. Hereby, we map the optically induced acoustic lattice distortions, localized at the edge of a single-crystalline graphite thin film [4].
