Generation of a directed nanolocalized photoelectron beam by means of femtosecond laser pulses

JETP Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A directed photoelectron beam is obtained when photoelectrons from a sharp metal tip irradiated by femtosecond laser pulses are passed through a quartz nanocapillary. Such a nanolocalized photoelectron train makes it possible to conduct experiments with simultaneous femtosecond time and nanometer spatial resolutions.
