We have measured electron energy distribution curves (EDCs) of the laser-induced field emission from a tungsten tip. Field emission from photo-excited nonequilibrium electron distributions were clearly observed, while no enhanced field emission due to optical electric fields appeared up to values of 1.3 V/nm. Thus, we experimentally confirm the emission mechanism. Simulated transient EDCs show that electron dynamics plays a significant role in the laser-induced field emission. The results should be useful to find optimal parameters for defining the temporal and spectral characteristics of electron pulses for many applications based on pulsed field emission.

Field electron emission from an ultrathin multilayer planar cold cathode (UMPC) including quantum well structure has been both experimentally and theoretically investigated. We found that only tuning the energy levels of UMPC the field electron emiss ion (FE) characteristic can be evidently improved, which is unexplained by the conventional FE mechanism. Field electron emission mechanism dependent on the quantum structure effect, which supplies a favorable location of electron emission and enhances tunneling ability, has been presented to expound the notable amelioration. An approximate formula brought forward can predict the quantum FE enhancement, which the theoretical prediction is close to the experimental result.
Experimental results of direct measurement of resonant monochromatic terahertz emission optically excited in InGaAs transistor channels are presented. The emission is attributed to two-dimensional plasma waves excited by photogeneration of electron-h ole pairs in the channel at the frequency $f_0$ of the beating of two cw-laser sources. The presence of resonances for the radiation emission in the range of $f_0pm 10$ GHz (with $f_0$ from 0.3 up to 0.5 THz) detected by a Si-bolometer is found. Numerical results support that such a high quality of the emission resonances can be explained by the approach of an instability in the transistor channel.
The ultrashort laser excitation of Co/Pt magnetic heterostructures can effectively generate spin and charge currents at the interfaces between magnetic and nonmagnetic layers. The direction of these photocurrents can be controlled by the helicity of the circularly polarized laser light and an external magnetic field. Here, we employ THz time-domain spectroscopy to investigate further the role of interfaces in these photo-galvanic phenomena. In particular, the effects of either Cu or ZnO interlayers on the photocurrents in Co/X/Pt (X = Cu, ZnO) have been studied by varying the thickness of the interlayers up to 5 nm. The results are discussed in terms of spin-diffusion phenomena and interfacial spin-orbit torque.
In this paper the formation mechanisms of the femtosecond laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) are discussed. One of the most frequently-used theories explains the structures by interference between the incident laser beam and surface pl asmon-polariton waves. The latter is most commonly attributed to the coupling of the incident laser light to the surface roughness. We demonstrate that this excitation mechanism of surface plasmons contradicts to the results of laser-ablation experiments. As an alternative approach to the excitation of LIPSS we analyse development of hydrodynamic instabilities in the melt layer.
Nanostructured materials have wide potential applicability as field emitters due to their high aspect ratio. We hydrothermally synthesized MoS2 nanoflowers on copper foil and characterized their field emission properties, by applying a tip-anode conf iguration in which a tungsten tip with curvature radius down to 30-100nm has been used as the anode to measure local properties from small areas down to 1-100um2. We demonstrate that MoS2 nanoflowers can be competitive with other well-established field emitters. Indeed, we show that a stable field emission current can be measured with a turn-on field as low as 12 V um-1 and a field enhancement factor up to 880 at 600nm cathode-anode separation distance.
