Time and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy using femtosecond visible and high-harmonic light

The angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) has emerged as a leading technique in identifying static key properties of complex systems such as the electronic band structure of adsorbed molecules, ultrathin quantum-well films or high temperature superconductors. We efficiently combined ARPES by using a two-dimensional analyzer for parallel energy (E) and momentum (k||) detection with femtosecond time-resolved spectroscopies. Using time and angle resolved two photon photoemission (2PPE) with visible light pulses, the hot electron dynamics in complex electronic structures are directly accessible by means of angle resolved hot electron lifetime mapping. Furthermore, femtosecond ARPES spectra recorded with high harmonic generation (HHG) light pulses are presented, showing the potential of this technique for future investigations of surface dynamics and photo-induced phase transition processes.
