Abstract

The present status and the recent progress of pump-probe time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy at SPring-8 are introduced. Combining the variety of bunch operation modes available at the SPring-8 storage ring with ultra-short excitation sources including pulsed magnetic fields, electric fields and lasers, the element-specific time evolution of materials in response to the excitation can be observed with spatial and temporal resolutions of (50-300) nm and (40-100) ps, respectively, with repetition frequencies of up to 42 MHz. By using the magnetic circular dichroism effect, the domain motion of sub-micron sized magnetic areas can be observed. The time evolution of electronic structures in local areas can also be studied. The experimental setups and representative activities are described.
