    Attosecond time delays in C60 valence photoemissions at the giant plasmon
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2015) Barillot, T.; Magrakvelidze, M.; Loriot, V.; Bordas, C.; Hervieux, P.-A.; Gisselbrecht, M.; Johnsson, P.; Laksman, J.; Mansson, E.P.; Sorensen, S.; Canton, S.E.; Dahlström, J.M.; Dixit, G.; Madjet, M.E.; Lépine, F.; Chakraborty, H.S.
    We perform time-dependent local density functional calculations of the time delay in C60 HOMO and HOMO-1 photoionization at giant plasmon energies. A semiclassical model is used to develop further insights.

    Attosecond electron spectroscopy using a novel interferometric pump-probe technique
    (College Park, Md. : APS, 2010) Mauritsson, J.; Remetter, T.; Swoboda, M.; Klünder, K.; L'Huillier, A.; Schafer, K.J.; Ghafur, O.; Kelkensberg, F.; Siu, W.; Johnsson, P.; Vrakking, M.J.J.; Znakovskaya, I.; Uphues, T.; Zherebtsov, S.; Kling, M.F.; Lépine, F.; Benedetti, E.; Ferrari, F.; Sansone, G.; Nisoli, M.
    We present an interferometric pump-probe technique for the characterization of attosecond electron wave packets (WPs) that uses a free WP as a reference to measure a bound WP. We demonstrate our method by exciting helium atoms using an attosecond pulse (AP) with a bandwidth centered near the ionization threshold, thus creating both a bound and a free WP simultaneously. After a variable delay, the bound WP is ionized by a few-cycle infrared laser precisely synchronized to the original AP. By measuring the delay-dependent photoelectron spectrum we obtain an interferogram that contains both quantum beats as well as multipath interference. Analysis of the interferogram allows us to determine the bound WP components with a spectral resolution much better than the inverse of the AP duration. © 2010 The American Physical Society.
