Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrafast Electron Dynamics and Optical Nonlinearities in Metal Nanoparticles

TL;DR: In this article, the femtosecond optical response of noble metal nanoparticles and its connection to the ultrafast electron dynamics are discussed in light of the results of high-sensitivity femtocond pump−probe experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Femtosecond-tunable measurement of electron thermalization in gold

TL;DR: In this paper, an IR pump beam is used to heat the electron distribution and changes in electron temperature are measured with a visible probe beam at the d band to Fermi-surface transition, showing that the subpicosecond optical response of gold is dominated by delayed thermalization of the electron gas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonequilibrium electron dynamics in noble metals

TL;DR: In this paper, two-color femtosecond pump-probe measurements in silver films were used to investigate the electron-electron and electron-lattice interactions in noble metals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct measurement of the single-metal-cluster optical absorption.

TL;DR: The absorption of a single isolated metal cluster is directly measured using a novel far-field optical technique based on modulation of its position using optically detected single gold nanoparticles dispersed on a transparent substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electron-phonon scattering in metal clusters.

TL;DR: Femtosecond pump-probe experiments performed in the low-perturbation regime demonstrate a strong increase of the intrinsic electron-phonon interaction for nanoparticles smaller than 10 nm due to a confinement effect.
