The availability of single attosecond EUV pulses paved the way to observe electrons at solid surfaces on their natural time scale [1]. In streaking spectroscopy the interaction of a photoelectron with an intense NIR streaking field reveals relative delays of different emission channels with up to 10 as resolution [2].
Here, the impact of an inhomogeneous and penetrating IR field distribution on as-time-resolved photoemission from solid surfaces is simulated based on solving the one-dimensional TDSE [2].
It is shown that the penetration of the IR fields has an substantial impact on the relative delays. Therefore, the phenomenological concept of a classical atto-clock, that can be envisioned as a common finish line for different photoemission channels, needs to be discussed.
