2024.05.21 Ultrafast Broadband Strong-Field Tunnelling in Asymmetric Nanogaps for Time-Resolved Nanoscopy
Arxiv
Here, we show that the generation of femtosecond pulses of nanoscale tunnelling electrons can be achieved in any ultrafast optical laboratory, using any (deep-UV to mid-IR) femtosecond laser in combination with photosensitive asymmetric nanogap (PAN) diodes fabricated via easy-to-scale adhesion lithography.
