Abstract

Read online

Strong-field photoemission is the emission of electrons driven by a strong electric field of light. Here the authors demonstrate a highly non-linear strong-field photoemission, approaching the 40th power-law scaling, from carbon nanotubes, yielding a photoemission current with up to 100% carrier-envelope phase modulation depth.
