A three-grating electron interferometer

Year: 2006

Type: article

Abstract: We report the observation of fringes from a three-grating electron interferometer. Interference fringes have been observed at low energies ranging from 6 to 10 keV. Contrasts of up to 25% are recorded and exceed the maximal contrast of the classical equivalent Moiré deflectometer. This type of interferometer could serve as a separate beam Mach–Zehnder interferometer for low-energy electron interferometry experiments.
