Abstract
Electron-pulse probing of fast laser-induced processes has allowed the direct observation of the structural dynamics in matter with a high spatiotemporal resolution. A thin gold film has appeared to be a convenient photocathode, and photoelectron emission has been induced by femtosecond ultraviolet radiation with a photon energy of about 4.65–4.75 eV (in particular, \(\hbar \)ω \( \cong \) 4.65 eV for the third harmonic of the Ti:sapphire laser). For the linear photoelectric effect, this energy contradicts the reference work function WAu\( \cong \) 5.1–5.3 eV of pure metal. Reasons for such contradiction have been analyzed and good agreement with experimental data has been reached with a model proposed for the generation of photoelectron pulses.
