Attosecond time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of hybrid nanoresonators — •Julia Hengster and Thorsten Uphues — ARS, CFEL, Luruper Chaussee 149, 22761 Hamburg

Understanding plasmons as collective oscillations of the free-electron gas density important questions related to their propagation, damping, charge and energy localization came up. Nevertheless the behaviour of hybrid nanostructures approaching the monolayer limit raises a new type of questions concerning their plasmonic behaviour in space and time, following the complex dynamics of the electromagnetic field.

Attosecond time-resolved experiments are on the way to resolve subcycle electron dynamics from plasmonic interaction of ultrashort driving pulses in surfaces and nanostructures. Our approach of attosecond photoscopy demonstrates a reliable route to extend attosecond technology to surface and nanostructure dynamics. Hybrid nanostructures exhibit complex plasmonic properties sensitive to parameters as geometrical aspect ratios or material compositions. Vertically aligned disk nano-resonators belong to a group of tailored systems demonstrating field enhancement with strong localization. We found a remarkably sensitive behaviour in the coupling of surface and bulk plasmons with respect to the outer geometry of the resonators with ultrafast subcycle dynamics.

As proof-of-concept we demonstrate attostreaking from gold films with significant deviation to gas-phase streaking. Furthermore we developed non-destructive preparation procedures for nanoparticle samples as requirement for attosecond photoscopy.
