Attosecond Experiments on Plasmonic Nanostructures Principles and Experiments
BestMasters
Springer awards „BestMasters“ to the best master’s theses which have been completed at renowned universities in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The studies received highest marks and were recommended for publication by supervisors. They address current issues from various fields of research in natural sciences, psychology, technology, and economics. The series addresses practitioners as well as scientists and, in particular, offers guidance for early stage researchers.

Preface Attosecond nanophysics is a new research field merging ultrafast science with time scales reaching into the attosecond domain with studies on nanoscale materials. An attosecond is incredibly short. To put it in perspective, one attosecond (one attosecond = 10−18 seconds) compares to one second roughly as one second compares to the age of the universe. Within one attosecond even light only travels a distance of 0.3 nanometer (1 nanometer = 109 meter). Attosecond time and nanometer length scales are thus inherently connected. The attosecond timescale is particularly important for electrons, which are light enough to move so fast that they must be clocked with attosecond precision to track their motion. These fast electron dynamics govern the interaction of light with matter and form the basis for optoelec
