Peking University Ultra-High Time-Space-Resolved Light Emission Microscope Measurement Technology Progress
[ Instrument R & D of Instrument Network ] In order to explore the nano world more intuitively, a large number of researchers are committed to developing micro-nano detection technology with high time-space resolution. A few days ago, the National Key Laboratory of Mesoscopic Physics, Peking University School of Physics, and the Optoelectronics Frontier Science Center Gong Qihuang's team of academicians successfully developed a femtosecond-nano-ultra-spatial-temporal resolution optical experimental system with the support of national major scientific research equipment development projects. The experimental system can achieve ultra-high temporal resolution of several femtoseconds and ultra-high spatial resolution of four nanometers at the same time, and it has become a powerful experimental measurement method for meteorology and micro-nano photonics research.
Recently, the research team used ultra-high time-space-resolved light emission electron microscopy (PEEM) to reveal for the first time the internal correlation between local field plasmon near-field enhancement and decoherence time from the near-field microscopic perspective. The two dimensions of population evolution fully reveal the single layer WS2 ultrafast electron cooling and relaxation dynamics.
In the surface plasmon photonics experiment, the advantage of the high spatial resolution of PEEM was used to directly observe the near-field distribution of the local surface plasmon mode in the gold nanostructure dimer array system. Light emission intensity measurement and ultrashort pulse-based light emission autocorrelation measurement, respectively, obtained the near-field enhancement and decoherence time of the surface plasmon of the same structure, and found that the correlation between the two depends on the gold nanostructure dimer The gap and the polarization direction of the excitation light reveal for the first time that this correlation is determined by the near-field and far-field coupling and the local effect of the nanostructure.
The research results are of great significance for understanding the basic physical problems in surface plasmon photonics and expanding the application research of surface plasmons in high-sensitivity detection and sensing, solar cells and other micro-nano photonic devices.
In the study of the ultrafast electron cooling and relaxation dynamics of single-layer WS2, the team found that two time-scale ultrafast dynamic processes that exist on the substrate and the suspended single-layer WS2 are attributed to the electron cooling of the conduction band, respectively And the defect capture process, two time-scale processes can be observed from the attenuation curve, which are about 0.3 ps and 3 ps, respectively. Through energy-resolved PEEM measurement, it was found that the first process corresponds to the cooling of electrons in the conduction band, and the second process reflects the relaxation of electrons at the bottom of the conduction band.
In addition, by comparing the PEEM measurement of the suspended single-layer WS2 sample, combined with the fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy characterization, it is found that the relaxation process is mainly related to the defect state. This study uses PEEM's resolution capabilities in space, time, and energy to reveal the dynamic process of ultra-fast electron cooling and defect trapping of typical single layer WS2 of TMDs. The study also found that the generation of defect states is related to the illumination under vacuum. The generation method of this defect and its significant impact on the dynamic process are notable in general light emission experiments and spectral measurements.

After more than 50 years of development, the electron microscope has become an indispensable and important tool in modern science and technology. The electron microscope is composed of three parts: lens barrel, vacuum device and power cabinet. Its technical application is based on the optical microscope, the resolution of the optical microscope is 0.2μm, and the resolution of the transmission electron microscope is 0.2nm, which means that the transmission electron microscope is magnified 1000 times on the basis of the optical microscope .
