Abstract: Recently the use of isolated attosecond pulses has allow unprecedented temporal resolution of charge motion in gases and condensed matter [1,2]. A surface science apparatus has been constructed to allow the ultrafast charge dynamics on rough and structured surfaces to be investigated. The system is connected to the Attosecond source at Imperial College allowing isolated attosecond bursts of XUV radiation to be used as a probe Fig.2.
