Abstract

Femtosecond transient reflectivity measurements on gold films revealed damped oscillations, which are attributed to anisotropic ballistic electron motion and reflection at the film boundaries. A theoretical model based on a modified Fermi-liquid theory can explain the observed oscillation periods as a result of ballistic transport in directions determined by the actual shape of the Fermi surface of Au.
