Abstract

Here, a short survey on the physics and applications of electron beams interacting with light and polaritons is provided. The focus is on the approaches that will be used throughout the current dissertation to understand and control electron-light interactions. This chapter is organized to systematically cover the sub-systems and fields that are subjects of the investigations and developments in this book: polaritons, electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), cathodoluminescence (CL), and numerical methods for simulating the interactions of electrons with light and nanostructures.
