要旨:
The local extraction of electrons from metal nanotips is an essential component of both scanning tunneling microscopes and transmission or scanning electron microscopes based on field emission cathodes. Laser-induced electron emission from sharp tip structures is a prerequisite for equipping such methods with ultrafast temporal resolution. In this paper, recent experiments on femtosecond electron emission from sharp gold tips are discussed. Based on far-field and near-field characterization, confined multiphoton electron emission from the apex is demonstrated. The effective nonlinearity can be tuned by the application of an additional static bias voltage.
