Abstract
An electronic wave packet has significant spatial evolution besides its temporal evolution, due to the delocalized nature of composing electronic states. The spatial evolution was not previously accessible to experimental investigations at the attosecond timescale. A phase-resolved two-electron-angular-streaking method is developed to image the shape of the hole density of an ultrafast spin-orbit wave packet in the krypton cation. Furthermore, the motion of an even faster wave packet in the xenon cation is captured for the first time: An electronic hole is refilled 1.2fs after it is produced, and the hole filling is observed on the opposite side where the hole is born.
