Photoemission electron microscopy was used to image the electrons photoemitted from specially tailored Ag nanoparticles deposited on a Si substrate (with its native oxide SiOx). Photoemission was induced by illumination with a Hg UV lamp (photon energy cutoff h omega(UV)=5.0 eV, wavelength lambda(UV)=250 nm) and with a Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser (h omega(l)=3.1 eV, lambda(l)=400 nm, pulse width below 200 fs), respectively. While homogeneous photoelectron emission from the metal is observed upon illumination at energies above the silver plasmon frequency, at lower photon energies the emission is localized at tips of the structure. This is interpreted as a signature of the local electrical field therefore providing a tool to map the optical near field with the resolution of emission electron microscopy.
