Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy:

Femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy.

The development of femtosecond time-resolved methods for the study of gas-phase molecular dynamics is founded upon the seminal studies of Zewail and co-workers, as recognized in 1999 by the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.1 This methodology has been applied to chemical reactions ranging in complexity from bond-breaking in diatomic molecules to dynamics in larger organic and biological molecules, and h...

Attosecond time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of surfaces

We discuss streaking time delays for photoemission from solid model surfaces as a function of the degree of the initial-wave-function localization and including the dynamical plasmon response to the motion of the photoelectron.

Attosecond angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy.

We report experiments on the characterization of a train of attosecond pulses obtained by high-harmonic generation, using mixed-color (XUV+IR) atomic two-photon ionization and electron detection on a velocity map imaging detector. We demonstrate that the relative phase of the harmonics is encoded both in the photoelectron yield and the angular distribution as a function of XUV-IR time delay, th...

Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of mass-selected metal-water clusters

Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of molecules and clusters.

Time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (TRPES) has become a powerful new tool in studying the dynamics of molecules and clusters. It has been applied to processes ranging from energy flow in electronically excited states of molecules to electron solvation dynamics in clusters. This review covers experimental and theoretical aspects of TRPES, focusing on studies of neutral and negatively charg...
