Distinguishing Intrinsic from Extrinsic Effects in Time-resolved Photoemission

ORAL

Abstract

Time- and angle-resolved photoemission is a powerful tool for the study of electron dynamics in condensed matter. Ultrafast excitation results in changes of binding energies and line shapes but not all effects are intrinsic or report on the physics inside the sample. We discuss how apparent binding energy shifts due to surface photovoltage can be distinguished from shifts and broadening due to pump-induced vacuum space charge. We will share strategies to mitigate pump-induced space charge.
