Characterization and Improvement of the Electron Beam Stability and the Measurement Noise in Ultrafast Low-Energy Electron Microscopy — •Ole Böttger1,2, Johannes Otto1,2,3, Leon Brauns1,2, and Claus Ropers1,2,3 — 1Department of Ultrafast Dynamics, Max Planck Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Göttingen, Germany — 24th Physical Institute, University of Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany — 3Max Planck School of Photonics
Ultrafast Low Energy Electron Microscopy (ULEEM) promises to uncover real-space dynamics on surfaces with few-picosecond temporal and nanometer spatial resolutions. Our group is currently developing such an instrument and has obtained first promising results [1]. The extended measurement durations required in this scheme require a high degree of long-term stability of the system. Here, we present results of energy, beam position and intensity stability measurements under various operating conditions, applied to both the laser pump and electron probe beam used. Moreover, we show results of state-of-the-art drift correction algorithms [2] applied to first ULEEM data [1].
