The ultrafast dynamics associated with collective (plasmon) excitations as well as single electron excitations in supported clusters is addressed with high lateral resolution by means of the time- and energy resolved two-photon Photoemission Electron Microscopy (TR-2PPEEM). Experiments performed at different cluster and nanostructured systems show that this setup is capable to map even very small particle to particle variations in the hot electron lifetime of the order of a few femtoseconds [1]. The high temporal sensitivity of time-resolved PEEM to these inhomogenities arises from the parallel data acquisition mode intrinsic to this technique. It significantly reduces the resolution limiting influence of systematic error arising from temporal fluctuations in the experimental parameters. Here we report about the potential and our progress in measuring electron live times in silver clusters and nano dots.
