Time-resolved two photon photoemission electron microscopy

Abstract

Femtosecond, time-resolved two photon photoemission has been used to map the dynamics of photo-excited electrons at a structured metal/semiconductor surface. A photoemission microscope was employed as a spatially resolving electron detector. This novel setup has the potential to visualize variations of hot electron lifetimes in the femtosecond regime on heterogeneous sample surfaces and nanostructures.
