The dynamics of the photoelectric effect in single-crystals are investigated on the attosecond time scale. An isolated attosecond XUV-pulse is used to excite photoelectrons, while a few-cycle waveform-controlled NIR-pulse modulates the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons. Recently, applying this streaking technique a relative time delay in emission on the order of 100 attoseconds between electrons originating from different electronic levels in tungsten was already revealed [1].
In order to further study the delay and its possible dependence on material properties and on laser parameters, several streaking measurements on different systems were carried out: We present results obtained on single-crystalline tungsten and rhenium, measured with XUV photon energies of 90 and 130 eV. We also show measurements on a combined system of a single crystal substrate with an adsorbed monolayer of a rare gas.
