Abstract
The detection of spatial and temporal electronic motion by scattering of subfemtosecond pulses of 10 keV electrons from coherent superpositions of electronic states of both H and T2+ is investigated. For the H atom, we predict changes in the diffraction images that reflect the time-dependent effective radius of the electronic charge density. For an aligned T2+ molecule, the diffraction image changes reflect the time-dependent localization or delocalization of the electronic charge density.
