Sk. Sekatskii et al., FEMTOSECOND 2-PHOTON LASER PHOTOELECTRON MICROSCOPY, The journal of physical chemistry. A, Molecules, spectroscopy, kinetics, environment, & general theory, 102(23), 1998, pp. 4148-4153
It is shown that high-resolution photoelectron images (with a resoluti
on of up to 3 nm for ultrasharp silicon tips) can be obtained for prac
tically all materials when irradiating tips made of these materials by
pulses of the second harmonic of a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser. In
addition to the images, absolute values of the two-photon external pho
toelectric effect for these tips also can be measured using this metho
d. The first experimental realization of this two-photon femtosecond l
aser projection photoelectron microscope is presented, and correspondi
ng data for silicon, diamond, and calcium fluoride tips are analyzed.
