Electron rescattering at metal nanotips induced by ultrashort laser pulses

Georg Wachter, Christoph Lemell, Joachim Burgdoerfer

We theoretically investigate the interaction of moderate intensity near-infrared few cycle laser pulses with nano-scale metal tips. Local field enhancement in a nanometric region a…

Probing of optical near-fields by electron rescattering on the 1 nm scale

Sebastian Thomas, Michael Krüger, Michael Förster +2

We present a new method of measuring optical near-fields within ~1 nm of a metal surface, based on rescattering of photoemitted electrons. With this method, we precisely measure th…

Electron rescattering at metal nanotips induced by ultrashort laser pulses

Georg Wachter, Christoph Lemell, Joachim Burgdörfer +3

We report on the first investigation of plateau and cut-off structures in photoelectron spectra from nano-scale metal tips interacting with few-cycle near-infrared laser pulses. Th…

Attosecond control of electrons emitted from a nanoscale metal tip

Michael Krüger, Markus Schenk, Peter Hommelhoff

Attosecond science is based on steering of electrons with the electric field of well-controlled femtosecond laser pulses. It has led to, for example, the generation of XUV light pu…

Strong-field above-threshold photoemission from sharp metal tips

Markus Schenk, Michael Krüger, Peter Hommelhoff

We present energy-resolved measurements of electron emission from sharp metal tips driven with low energy pulses from a few-cycle laser oscillator. We observe above-threshold photo…

Electrostatic extraction of cold molecules from a cryogenic reservoir

L. D. van Buuren, C. Sommer, M. Motsch +5

We present a method which delivers a continuous, high-density beam of slow and internally cold polar molecules. In our source, warm molecules are first cooled by collisions with a…
