摘要

The study of structured optical waves has enhanced our understanding of light and numerous experimental methods now enable the control of the angular momentum and radial distributions. Recently, these wavestructuring techniques have been successfully applied to the generation and shaping of electron beams, leading to promising practical and fundamental advances. Here, we discuss recent progress in the emerging field of electron beam shaping, and explore the unique attributes that distinguish electron beams from their photonic analogues.
