In this Letter, we show that, in contrast to what is generally admitted in laser assisted atom probe, it is possible to probe a tip under optimal analysis conditions using a single wavelength. We show that the field emitter geometry can be adjusted to the wavelength of the femtosecond laser pulses used to trigger the…

We propose an approach to scale the frequency of surface phonon polariton to megahertz-gigahertz region via an artificial microstructure, ionic-type phononic crystal (ITPC). The period of ITPC can be intentionally controlled on all relevant length scales, which allows the creation of surface phonon polariton with almo…
