Abstract
High-intensity, 75-fs optical pulses have been applied to observe multiphoton and thermally enhanced photoemission from a tungsten metal surface. Experimental results suggest the presence of anomalous heating, a transient nonequilibrium temperature difference between the electrons and lattice. Pump-probe measurements indicate an electron-phonon energy relaxation time of several hundred femtoseconds.Keywords
