摘要
We report the first direct measurement of the relaxation of plasma oscillations in a solid. Via the second-harmonic autocorrelation of femtosecond laser pulses, the lifetimes of localized plasma oscillations in silver island films were investigated. Decay times of 40 +/- 7 fs were obtained, which indicate that single-particle scattering is mainly responsible for the energy relaxation of the plasma oscillations.
