We report a systematic measurement of the space charge effect observed in the few-ps laser pulse regime in laser-based solid-state photoemission spectroscopy experiments. The broadening and the shift of a gold Fermi edge as a function of spot size, laser power, and emission angle are characterized for pulse lengths of 6 ps and 6 eV photon energy. The results are used as a benchmark for an $N$-body numerical simulation and are compared to different regimes used in photoemission spectroscopy. These results provide an important reference for the design of time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy setups and next-generation light sources.

We report the observation and systematic investigation of the space charge effect and mirror charge effect in photoemission spectroscopy. When pulsed light is incident on a sample, the photoemitted electrons experience energy redistribution after esc aping from the surface because of the Coulomb interaction between them (space charge effect) and between photoemitted electrons and the distribution of mirror charges in the sample (mirror charge effect). These combined Coulomb interaction effects give rise to an energy shift and a broadening which can be on the order of 10 meV for a typical third-generation synchrotron light source. This value is comparable to many fundamental physical parameters actively studied by photoemission spectroscopy and should be taken seriously in interpreting photoemission data and in designing next generation experiments.
Performing time and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (tr-ARPES) at high momenta necessitates extreme ultraviolet laser pulses, which are typically produced via high harmonic generation (HHG). Despite recent advances, HHG-based setups still r equire large pulse energies (hundreds of $mu$J to mJ) and their energy resolution is limited to tens of meV. Here, we present a novel 11 eV tr-ARPES setup that generates a flux of $5times10^{10}$ photons/s and achieves an unprecedented energy resolution of 16 meV. It can be operated at high repetition rates (up to 250 kHz) while using input pulse energies down to 3 $mu$J. We demonstrate these unique capabilities by simultaneously capturing the energy and momentum resolved dynamics in two well-separated momentum space regions of a charge density wave material ErTe$_3$. This novel setup offers opportunity to study the non-equilibrium band structure of solids with exceptional energy and time resolutions at high repetition rates.
We report a heat dynamics analysis of the electrocaloric effect (ECE) in commercial multilayer capacitors based on BaTiO3 dielectric, a promising candidate for applications as a solid state cooling device. Direct measurements of the time evolution of the samples temperature changes under different applied voltages allow us to decouple the contributions from Joule heating and from the ECE. Heat balance equations were used to model the thermal coupling between different parts of the system. Fingerprints of Joule heating and the ECE could be resolved at different time scales. We argue that Joule heating and the thermal coupling of the device to the environment must be carefully taken in to account in future developments of refrigeration technologies employing the ECE.
The particle flux through a two micron diameter orifice into vacuum from a source chamber filled with solid He exhibits a striking periodic behavior similar to that of a geyser. This phenomenon is attributed to a periodic collapse of the solid inside the source induced by the accumulation of excess vacancies injected at the orifice. The flux-time curves agree well with a kinetic model and provide direct information on the diffusivity of vacancies in solid He.
The negatively-charged nitrogen vacancy (NV$^-$) centre in diamond is a remarkable optical quantum sensor for a range of applications including, nanoscale thermometry, magnetometry, single photon generation, quantum computing, and communication. Howe ver, to date the performance of these techniques using NV$^-$ centres has been limited by the thermally-induced spectral wandering of NV$^-$ centre photoluminescence due to detrimental photothermal heating. Here we demonstrate that solid-state laser refrigeration can be used to enable rapid (ms) optical temperature control of nitrogen vacancy doped nanodiamond (NV$^-$:ND) quantum sensors in both atmospheric and textit{in vacuo} conditions. Nanodiamonds are attached to ceramic microcrystals including 10% ytterbium doped yttrium lithium fluoride (Yb:LiYF$_4$) and sodium yttrium fluoride (Yb:NaYF$_4$) by van der Waals bonding. The fluoride crystals were cooled through the efficient emission of upconverted infrared photons excited by a focused 1020 nm laser beam. Heat transfer to the ceramic microcrystals cooled the adjacent NV$^-$:NDs by 10 and 27 K at atmospheric pressure and $sim$10$^{-3}$ Torr, respectively. The temperature of the NV$^-$:NDs was measured using both Debye-Waller factor (DWF) thermometry and optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR), which agree with the temperature of the laser cooled ceramic microcrystal. Stabilization of thermally-induced spectral wandering of the NV$^{-}$ zero-phonon-line (ZPL) is achieved by modulating the 1020 nm laser irradiance. The demonstrated cooling of NV$^-$:NDs using an optically cooled microcrystal opens up new possibilities for rapid feedback-controlled cooling of a wide range of nanoscale quantum materials.
