Self-Accelerating Dirac Electrons in Free-Space

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A recent experiment confirmed the 35-year-old prediction of Airy-shaped electron beams that accelerate in the absence of any potential. Yet many of their intriguing properties remain unclear, namely: can they reach relativistic speeds? We answer this question in the affirmative.
