Magnetic electron collimation in three-dimensional semi-metals

X. Huang, C. Putzke, et al.

This groundbreaking research by Xiangwei Huang and colleagues illustrates the capability to control tightly focused electron beams in micro-devices made from Cd3As2 crystals. By manipulating magnetic fields, they achieve precise control over electron jet propagation, revealing unique properties of 3D semi-metals.

Abstract
This paper demonstrates controlled generation of tightly focused electron beams in micro-devices machined from Cd3As2 crystals. Current beams are guided by tilting a magnetic field, and their range is tuned by field strength. Finite element simulations support the picture of controlled electron jets, showcasing direct control over non-local signal propagation unique to 3D semi-metals.
