Open AccessNonequilibrium charge-density-wave order beyond the thermal limit
The interaction of many-body systems with intense light pulses may lead to novel emergent phenomena far from equilibrium. Recent discoveries, such as the optical enhancement of the critical temperature in cert...

Direct observation of electron propagation and dielectric screening on the atomic length scale
Attosecond light pulses are now available experimentally, enabling ultrafast processes on the atomic scale to be probed; here the free-electron-like propagation of electrons through ultrathin layers of magnesi...

Visualization of Photocurrents in Nanoobjects by Ultrafast Low-Energy Electron Point-Projection Imaging
Ultrafast photocurrents in pin-type semiconductor InP nanowires are investigated with femtosecond time and nanometer spatial resolution. We demonstrate the capability of femtosecond point-projection imaging as...

Atomic View of the Photoinduced Collapse of Gold and Bismuth
Two different mechanisms of photoinduced melting were studied by femtosecond electron diffraction. The structural response of gold indicates an electronically-induced increase of the melting temperature. Bismu...

Femtosecond two-photon photoemission at 150 kHz utilizing two noncollinear optical parametric amplifiers for measuring ultrafast electron dynamics
An improved setup for femtosecond two-photon photoemission spectroscopy (TR-2PPE) is presented. Two noncollinear optical parametric amplifiers (NOPA) were operated simultaneously at a repetition rate of 150 kH...

Ultrafast electron transfer via a bridge-extended donor orbital
Electron transfer from the excited aromatic donor perylene to TiO2 occurred with 10 fs time constant via the conjugated -CH=CH- bridge unit compared to 57 fs in the presence of the saturated -CH2-CH2- bridge unit...

Ultrafast molecule to semiconductor electron transfer via different anchor groups in ultra-high vacuum
Electron transfer in the wide band limit occurs from the donor perylene to TiO2 via the carboxyl group in 13 fs and via the phosphonate group in 28 fs under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions.

Generation of sub-20 fs Tunable Visible Pulses from a 100 kHz NOPA For Measuring Ultrafast Heterogeneous Electron Transfer
We describe the design and performance of a noncollinear optical parametric amplifier that can be pumped by the output of a commercial 100 kHz Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier. The output of the NOPA is comp...

Dynamics of electron scattering between bulk states and the C1 surface state of InP(100)
Hot electron dynamics was investigated, with a focus on scattering between bulk states and the C1 surface state that is formed on the (2×4)-reconstructed In-rich surface of InP(100). The latter surface was prepar...
