I and i
TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the quantum statistics effects of photons on free-electron-light interactions are observed, revealing a transition from quantum walk to classical random walk on the freeelectron energy ladder, and the electron walker serves as the probe in non-destructive quantum detection, measuring the second order photon-correlation g (2)(0) and higher order g ( n )(0).

Interaction of electron beams with optical nanostructures and metamaterials: from coherent photon sources towards shaping the wave function
TL;DR: Theoretical and numerical aspects of the interaction of electrons with nanostructures and metamaterials are discussed in this paper, with the aim to understand mechanisms of radiation in interaction of electron with even more sophisticated structures.

Ultrafast Photoemission Electron Microscopy: Imaging Plasmons in Space and Time.
TL;DR: A thorough experimental description of PEEM as a characterization tool for both surface plasmon polaritons and localized plasmons is guided and the exciting progress it has opened by the ultrafast imaging of plAsmonic phenomena on the nanofemto scale is summarized.

Inelastic electron holography

TL;DR: The experimental results show that within the wave inelastically scattered at aluminium plasmons there is in fact an area of about 10 nm diameter with coherence sufficient to take electron holograms.

Electron diffraction by plasmon waves
TL;DR: In this paper, the Kapitza-Dirac effect was used to predict a new type of interaction between electrons and the electromagnetic field, opening up new possibilities for the manipulation of electron beams.

TL;DR: This work presents a serial electron diffraction method, where still diffraction patterns from many protein nanocrystals are rapidly recorded and merged, which minimises radiation damage and only requires a slightly modified standard scanning transmission electron microscope.
