1st School on Nano-optics with Free Electrons (eBEAM2022)
The first School on Nano-optics with Free Electrons (eBEAM2022) will be held on 11-16th September 2022, at the island of Porquerolles, France. Pre-registrations opens 1st February 2022.
Context
Electron optics and spectroscopy instrumentation developments in the last 20 years have considerably widened the range of applicability of electron beam techniques to nano-optics: meV beam energy spread, single atoms imaging capabilities, electron wavefunction shaping, fs pump probe experiments, and efficient light coupling to and from samples are a reality. This has enabled the study of a variety of excitations (plasmons, phonons, excitons...) at extreme spatial, temporal and spectral resolutions.
Therefore, new theories have blossomed to explain exciting results coming from electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), cathodoluminescence (CL), and photon induced near-field electron microscopy (PINEM), and central concepts of nano-optics or quantum optics have been shown to be applicable to electron-based spectroscopies.
For this reason, it is high time for a school aiming at spreading knowledge about these new concepts and techniques and at fomenting the interest of a new generation of academics in this blooming field. That is the object of the eBEAM school, focused on electron spectroscopies for nano-optics.
eBEAM 2022
For its first edition, the School on Nano-optics with Free Electrons (eBEAM2022), the event will be held on 11-16th September 2022, at the island of Porquerolles, in France.
Pre-registration opens on 1st February 2022. Stay tuned!
During this week, courses will cover:
- the basics of electron instrumentation and spectroscopies;
- electron-matter-light interaction;
- electron spectroscopies of optical material;
- time, space, and quantum coherence in electron spectroscopy;
- advanced EELS, CL, and PINEM, as well as photoemission.
School style
- The school is aimed at Ph. Ds, Post Docs and any researchers willing to dive in this new field.
- Attention: due to the limited number of places (80), applicants will be selected with a CV and cover letter.
- A series of 8 lectures lasting 2 hours (broken by a 30 min. pause) will be given. Each lecturer is asked to give a 30 min seminar on their own research topic in addition to the lecture.
- 2 posters sessions will be organized.
