Abstract

Photoelectron holography is a method that retrieves molecular structure information from photoelectron diffraction patterns generated by x-ray free-electron lasers, which have the promise of following dynamic molecular structure evolutions with angstrom spatial and femtosecond temporal resolutions (the so-called molecular movie). However, an additional phase is introduced when the photoelectron is scattered by an atom, and this scattering phase turns into a spatial error when the position of the atom is retrieved using a Fourier-type transform. We propose a method to remove, or greatly suppress, this error, with demonstrations using numerical examples.
