    The original PDF version of this Article contained an error in Equation 1. The original HTML version of this Article contained errors in Equation 2 and Equation 4. These errors have now been corrected in both the PDF and the HTML versions of the Article. The original PDF version of this Article contained an error in Equation 1. A dot over the first occurrence of the variable ri was missing, and incorrectly read: (Formula Presented). The correct form of Equation 1 is as follows: (Formula Presented). This has now been corrected in the PDF version of the Article. The HTML version was correct from the time of publication. The original HTML version of this Article contained errors in Equation 2 and Equation 4. In Equation 2, a circle over the first occurrence of the variable ri replaced the intended dot, and incorrectly read: (Formula Presented). The correct form of Equation 2 is as follows: (Formula Presented). In Equation 4, circles over the first and fifth occurrences of the variable ri replaced the intended dots, and incorrectly read: (Formula Presented). The correct form of Equation 4 is as follows: (Formula Presented). This has now been corrected in the HTML version of the Article. The PDF version was correct from the time of publication.

    Nanoplasmonic electron acceleration by attosecond-controlled forward rescattering in silver clusters
    ([London] : Nature Publishing Group UK, 2017) Passig, Johannes; Zherebtsov, Sergey; Irsig, Robert; Arbeiter, Mathias; Peltz, Christian; Göde, Sebastian; Skruszewicz, Slawomir; Meiwes-Broer, Karl-Heinz; Tiggesbäumker, Josef; Kling, Matthias F.; Fennel, Thomas
    In the strong-field photoemission from atoms, molecules, and surfaces, the fastest electrons emerge from tunneling and subsequent field-driven recollision, followed by elastic backscattering. This rescattering picture is central to attosecond science and enables control of the electron's trajectory via the sub-cycle evolution of the laser electric field. Here we reveal a so far unexplored route for waveform-controlled electron acceleration emerging from forward rescattering in resonant plasmonic systems. We studied plasmon-enhanced photoemission from silver clusters and found that the directional acceleration can be controlled up to high kinetic energy with the relative phase of a two-color laser field. Our analysis reveals that the cluster's plasmonic near-field establishes a sub-cycle directional gate that enables the selective acceleration. The identified generic mechanism offers robust attosecond control of the electron acceleration at plasmonic nanostructures, opening perspectives for laser-based sources of attosecond electron pulses.
