Abstract:
A full-space analysis based on the multislice method is presented and has been applied to the simulation of mechanical interaction of electron vortex beam with a nanoparticle. The moment acting on the particle is calculated and presented as a moment map. We have calculated the total torque and compared it with the result from orbital angular momentum analysis. The thickness dependent torque and angular momentum are derived and discussed for different incident energies, convergence angles and angular momenta of the incident electron vortex beam. For different incident beams, the enhanced torque caused by diffraction enhancement is discussed. The oscillation behavior of the torque and angular momentum on depth is explained by a channeling theory. A comparison of thickness dependent angular momentum between the proposed analysis and conventional orbital angular momentum analysis in both the multislice method and the Bloch wave method is presented and discussed.
