Development of the prototype device for generation of electron vortex beams.

The project aims at developing a prototype device for generation of vortex electron beams (VEBs). VEBs enable probing magnetic state of matter down to atomic scale, manipulate nanoparticles or determine chirality of crystals. The major valorization tracks are seen as licensing production of VEB-generating devices and through bilateral contractual research with the industrial parties in Flanders and abroad.
