• Theory and applications of free-electron vortex states (2017, background): “the step was not an integer times 2π in that experiment, the output electron wave possessed a non-integer vortex [137, 138], which can be regarded as a superposition of several vortex states with different quantum”
• Electron vortices: Beams with orbital angular momentum (2017, background): “However, the resulting doughnut-shaped beam profile has an opening, indicating a non-integer vortex beam has been produced (Berry, 2004), probably because of the di culty of achieving precise refractive index and wavelength matching requirements.”
