Ultrafast multiphoton photoemission microscopy

Ultrafast Multiphoton Photoemission Microscopy of Solid Surfaces in Real and Reciprocal Space... 

In this chapter we describe advances in the femtosecond time-resolved multiphoton photoemission spectroscopy (TR-MPP) as a method for probing electronic structure and ultrafast interfacial charge transfer dynamics of adsorbate-covered solid surfaces. The focus is on surface science-based approaches that combine ultrafast optical pump probe excitation to induce nonlinear multi-photon photoemission (MPP) from clean or adsorbate covered single crystal surfaces. The photoemitted electrons transmit spectroscopic and dynamical information, which is captured by their energy analysis in real or reciprocal space. We examine how photoelectron spectroscopy and microscopy yield information on the unoccupied molecular structure, electron transfer and relaxation processes, light induced chemical and physical transformations and the evolution of coherent single particle and collective excitations at solid surfaces.
