abstract = {Almost one and a half centuries ago, Abbe [Arch. Mikrosk.
Anat. 9, 413 (1873)] and shortly after Lord Rayleigh
[Philos. Mag. Ser. 5 8, 261 (1879)] showed that, when an
optical lens is illuminated by a plane wave, a
diffraction-limited spot with radius 0.61λ/sinα is
obtained, where λ is the wavelength and α is the semiangle
of the beam's convergence cone. However, spots with much
smaller features can be obtained at the focal plane when the
lens is illuminated by an appropriately structured beam.
Whereas this concept is known for light beams, here, we show
how to realize it for a massive-particle wave function,
namely, a free electron. We experimentally demonstrate an
electron central spot of radius 106 pm, which is more than
two times smaller than the diffraction limit of the
experimental setup used. In addition, we demonstrate that
this central spot can be structured by adding orbital
angular momentum to it. The resulting superoscillating
vortex beam has a smaller dark core with respect to a
regular vortex beam. This family of electron beams having
hot spots with arbitrarily small features and tailored
structures could be useful for studying electron-matter
interactions with subatomic resolution.},
