We developed an ultrafast low-energy electron diffraction (ULEED) setup for the study of time-resolved structural dynamics at surfaces, extending our previous approach operating on ultrathin films in transmission [1]. A laser-driven nanometric needle emitter provides well-collimated electron pulses with durations of few tens of ps at the sample for electron energies in the range of 50-200 eV.

In a first application of this technique, we investigate optically induced transitions between charge density wave (CDW) phases [2] at a single-crystalline 1T-TaS2 surface. In particular, the recovery of the nearly commensurate (NC) room-temperature phase after laser-excitation to the incommensurate (IC) phase is resolved in the time-domain. We find a strong dependence of the formation time on the energy density deposited. Furthermore, at higher optical fluences, the appearance of metastable NC antiphase domains is observed, caused by a rapid quench after optical excitation. Our results demonstrate the potential of ULEED for the study of complex ultrafast structural and electronic processes at surfaces.
