Abstract
Strong-field photoemission from metal nanostructures enabled fundamental discoveries recently. Here, we deliver theoretical demonstration of the electric field control of electrons in the closest nanoscale vicinity of plasmonic nanoparticles with the help of few-cycle laser waveforms. We analyze the effect of plasmonic resonance on photoemission properties and show that it is only off-resonant nanoparticles that can provide electron control on a true sub-fs timescale.
