Self-trapping of slow electrons in the energy domain
The interaction of light and swift electrons has enabled phase-coherent manipulation and
acceleration of electron wave packets. Here, we investigate this interaction in a new regime
where low-energy electrons (∼ 20–200 eV) interact with a phase-matched light field. Our
analytical and one-dimensional numerical study shows that slow electrons are subject to
strong confinement in the energy domain due to the nonvanishing curvature of the electron
dispersion. The spectral trap is tunable and an appropriate choice of light field parameters …

The interaction of light and swift electrons has enabled phase-coherent manipulation and acceleration of electron wave packets. Here, we investigate this interaction in a new regime where low-energy electrons () interact with a phase-matched light field. Our analytical and one-dimensional numerical study shows that slow electrons are subject to strong confinement in the energy domain due to the nonvanishing curvature of the electron dispersion. The spectral trap is tunable and an appropriate choice of light field parameters can reduce the interaction dynamics to only two energy states. The capacity to trap electrons expands the scope of electron beam physics, free-electron quantum optics and quantum simulators.
