Electrons photoemitted by extreme ultraviolet attosecond pulses derive spatially from the first few atomic surface layers and energetically from the valence band and highest atomic orbitals. As a result, it is possible to probe the emission dynamics from a narrow two-dimensional region in the presence of optical fields as well as obtain elemental specific information. However, combining this with spatially-resolved imaging is a long-standing challenge because of the large inherent spectral width of attosecond pulses as well as the difficulty of making them at high repetition rates. Here we demonstrate an attosecond interferometry experiment on a zinc oxide (ZnO) surface using spatially and energetically resolved photoelectrons. We combine photoemission electron microscopy with near-infrared pump - extreme ultraviolet probe laser spectroscopy and resolve the instantaneous phase of an infrared field with high spatial resolution. Our results show how the core level states with low binding energy of ZnO are well suited to perform spatially resolved attosecond interferometry experiments. We observe a distinct phase shift of the attosecond beat signal across the laser focus which we attribute to wavefront differences between the pump and the probe fields at the surface. Our work demonstrates a clear pathway for attosecond interferometry with high spatial resolution at atomic scale surface regions opening up for a detailed understanding of nanometric light-matter interaction. |
