Abstract
The possibility of using the dipole force of the spatially nonuniform field of the TEM(01) mode (a hollow Gaussian beam) of an ultrashort-p ulse laser to focus a low-energy electron beam into a region 10-100 An gstrom in size is analyzed. This effect might be utilized to develop a n electron scanning microscopy which would employ low-energy electrons and which would be sensitive to the atomic and molecular structure of surfaces.
