Attosecond photoemission from metallic nanotips and surfaces (S05)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics ; Optics, Quantum Optics and Physics of Atoms, Molecules and Plasmas
• Term: since 2022
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 441234705

In project S05, will use sub-femtosecond optical pulses to study the strong field photoemission in nanotips and to generate and measure attosecond electron pulses. Aiming at electron energies within the applicability range of low-energy electron diffraction we will explore the possibility of using these pulses to push the frontiers of time-resolved electron microscopy into the attosecond domain. Experiment and theory will join forces to unravel the role of collective, many-particle, and quantum effects in the physics of the strong-field interaction.
