The distribution of scattering delay times is analyzed for classical electrons which are transmitted through a finite waveguide. For non-zero magnetic field the distribution shows a regular pattern of maxima (logarithmic singularities). Although their location follows from a simple commensurability condition, there is no straightforward geometric explanation of this self-pulsing effect. Rather it can be understood as a time-dependent analog of transverse magnetic focusing, in terms of the stationary points of the delay time. We also discuss the possibility of singularities in the delay-time distribution for generic 2D scattering systems.

We investigate submicron ferromagnetic PdNi thin-film strips intended as contact electrodes for carbon nanotube-based spintronic devices. The magnetic anisotropy and micromagnetic structure are measured as function of temperature and aspect ratio. Contrary to the expectation from shape anisotropy, magnetic hysteresis measurements of Pd0.3Ni0.7 on arrays containing strips of various width point towards a magnetically easy axis in the sample plane, but transversal to the strip direction. Anisotropic magnetoresistance measured on individual Pd0.3Ni0.7 contact strips and magnetic force microscopy images substantiate that conclusion.
We consider the effect of electron correlations on tunneling from a 2D electron layer in a magnetic field parallel to the layer. A tunneling electron can exchange its momentum with other electrons, which leads to an exponential increase of the tunneling rate compared to the single-electron approximation. Explicit results are obtained for a Wigner crystal. They provide a qualitative and quantitative explanation of the data on electrons on helium. We also discuss tunneling in semiconductor heterostructures.
Transmission of electrons across a rectangular barrier of IV-VI semiconductor compounds is considered. Conduction electrons arrive at the barrier and are reflected or transmitted through it depending on the relative values of the barrier potential $V_b$ and the electron energy $E$. The theory, in close analogy to the Dirac four component spinors, accounts for the boundary conditions on both sides of the barrier. The calculated transmission coefficient $T_C$ is an oscillatory function of the barrier voltage varying between zero (for full electron reflection) and unity (for full electron transmission). Character of electron wave functions outside and inside the barrier is studied. There exists a total current conservation, i. e. the sum of transmitted and reflected currents is equal to the incoming current. The transmission $T_C$ is studied for various barrier widths and incoming electron energies. Finally, the transmission coefficient $T_C$ is studied as a function of $V_b$ for decreasing energy gaps $E_g$ of different Pb$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$Se compounds in the range of 150 meV $geq E_g geq$ 2 meV. It is indicated that for very small gap values the behaviour of $T_C$ closely resembles that of the chiral electron tunneling by a barrier in monolayer graphene. For $E_g$ =0 (Pb$_{0.81}$Sn$_{0.19}$Se) the coefficient $T_C$ reaches the value of 1 independently of $V_b$.
The critical current of the self-oscillation of spin torque oscillator (STO) consisting of a perpendicularly magnetized free layer and an in-plane magnetized pinned layer was studied by solving the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation. We found that the critical current diverged at certain field directions, indicating that the self-oscillation does not occur at these directions. It was also found that the sign of the critical current changed depending on the applied field direction.
We present the development of the first ultrafast transmission electron microscope (UTEM) driven by localized photoemission from a field emitter cathode. We describe the implementation of the instrument, the photoemitter concept and the quantitative electron beam parameters achieved. Establishing a new source for ultrafast TEM, the Gottingen UTEM employs nano-localized linear photoemission from a Schottky emitter, which enables operation with freely tunable temporal structure, from continuous wave to femtosecond pulsed mode. Using this emission mechanism, we achieve record pulse properties in ultrafast electron microscopy of 9 {AA} focused beam diameter, 200 fs pulse duration and 0.6 eV energy width. We illustrate the possibility to conduct ultrafast imaging, diffraction, holography and spectroscopy with this instrument and also discuss opportunities to harness quantum coherent interactions between intense laser fields and free electron beams.
