• Abstract: We report guiding and manipulation of charged particle beams by means of electrostatic optics based on a principle similar to the electrodynamic Paul trap. We use hundreds of electrodes fabricated on planar substrates and supplied with static voltages to create a ponderomotive potential for charged particles in motion. Shape and strength of the potential can be locally tailored by the electrodes' layout and the applied voltages, enabling the control of charged particle beams within precisely engineered effective potentials. We demonstrate guiding of electrons and ions for a large range of energies (from 20 to 5000 eV) and masses (5E-4 to 131 atomic mass units) as well as electron beam splitting as a proof-of-concept for more complex beam manipulation. Simultaneous confinement of charged particles with different masses is possible, as well as guiding of electrons with energies in the keV regime, and the creation of highly customizable potential landscapes, which is all hard to impossible with conventional electrodynamic Paul traps.

  Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) offer an efficient and scalable alternative to quantum mechanical methods. We show that polarization and Born effective charge (BEC) tensors can be directly extracted from long-range MLIPs. This work extends the capability MLIPs to predict electrical response--without training on charges or polarization or BECs--and enables accurate modeling of electric-field-driven processes in diverse systems at scale.

  Controlling free-electron momentum states is of high interest in electron microscopy to achieve momentum and energy resolved probing and manipulation of physical systems. Here, we demonstrate both longitudinal and transverse phase control of a slow electron wavepacket by extending the Kapitza-Dirac effect to spatially-structured pulsed laser beams. The interaction reveals the formation of distinct electron transverse momentum orders, each demonstrating a comb-like electron energy spectrum.

  Most demanding application for a large-scale quantum computer will require ordered arrays. By configuring an electronic-grade diamond substrate with a biased surface graphene electrode connected to charge-sensitive electronics, it is possible to demonstrate single ion implantation for ions stopping between 30 and 130nm deep from a typical ion source. This allows the construction of ordered arrays of single atoms with associated colour centres that paves the way for the fabrication of deterministic colour center networks in a monolithic device.
