Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We report the production of electron vortex beams carrying large orbital angular momentum (OAM) using micro-fabricated spiral zone plates. A series of the spherical waves, focussing onto different positions along the propagating direction of the electron beam, were observed. The nth order vortex beam has an OAM n times larger than that of the first-order vortex beam. We observed an electron vortex with an OAM up to in a high-order diffracted wave. A linear dependence of the diameter of the vortex beam on the OAM was observed, being consistent to numerical simulations.
