We demonstrate strong-field-induced photoemission from a nanometer-sharp tungsten-covered silicon blade structure. The pronounced plateau and cut-off features observed in electron energy spectra confirm the presence of elastic rescattering in the enhanced near-fields at the surface of the one-dimensional nanostructure [1,2]. For highest intensities, charge densities in excess of 104 electrons per laser pulse and maximum kinetic energies of 1 keV are found. Furthermore, we find a change of photoemission regimes from a field-driven rescattering regime to space-charge limited emission. Accompanying time-dependent Schrödinger equation (TDSE) simulations, reproducing all salient features of the electron spectra, are presented. The above-mentioned observations make this new nanostructure a model system both for the investigation of rescattering on µm scales and light-matter interaction in the space-charge regime.
