Pump-probe electron diffraction and microscopy, based on laser excitation and probing with electrons, can provide a four-dimensional visualization of atomic motion in space and time. The time resolution is determined by the temporal and spatial structure of the electron pulse. Here, the temporal information of a single-electron pulse is mapped with THz fields into the transverse position on a screen, realising a THz-driven streaking camera. By spatially sectioning the electron pulse, spatial information was obtained. The deflection trace also revealed the shape of the THz-field at the sample.
The described approach represents a readily improvable method for temporal and spatial characterization of single-electron pulses for ultrafast diffraction applications.
