Designing next-generation light-harvesting devices requires a detailed understanding of the transport of photoexcited charge carriers. The record-breaking efficiencies of metal halide perovskite solar cells have been linked to effective charge-carrier diffusion, yet the exact nature of charge-carrier out-of-plane transport remains notoriously difficult to explain. The characteristic spatial inhomogeneity of perovskite films with nanograins and crystallographic disorder calls for the simultaneous and hitherto elusive in situ resolution of the chemical composition, the structural phase and the ultrafast dynamics of the local out-of-plane transport. Here we simultaneously probe the intrinsic out-of-plane charge-carrier diffusion and the nanoscale morphology by pushing depth-sensitive terahertz near-field nanospectroscopy to extreme subcycle timescales. In films of the organic–inorganic metal halide perovskite FA0.83Cs0.17Pb(I1−xClx)3 (where FA is formamidinium), domains of the cubic α-phase are clearly distinguished from the trigonal δ-phase and PbI2 nano-islands. By analysing deep-subcycle time shifts of the scattered terahertz waveform after photoexcitation, we access the vertical charge-carrier dynamics within single grains. At all of the measured locations, despite topographic irregularities, diffusion is surprisingly homogeneous on the 100 nm scale, although it varies between mesoscopic regions. Linking in situ carrier transport with nanoscale morphology and chemical composition could introduce a paradigm shift for the analysis and optimization of next-generation optoelectronics that are based on nanocrystalline materials. Transient visible-pump terahertz-probe near-field microscopy enables the simultaneous retrieval of the local chemical composition, crystallographic structure, topography and out-of-plane charge-carrier diffusion in perovskite films.

Plasma wakefield accelerators use tabletop equipment to produce relativistic femtosecond electron bunches. Optical and X-ray diagnostics have established that their charge concentrates within a micrometre-sized volume, but its sub-micrometre internal distribution, which critically influences gain in free-electron lasers or particle yield in colliders, has proven elusive to characterize. Here, by simultaneously imaging different wavelengths of coherent optical transition radiation that a laser-wakefield-accelerated electron bunch generates when exiting a metal foil, we reveal the structure of the coherently radiating component of bunch charge. The key features of the images are shown to uniquely correlate with how plasma electrons injected into the wake: by a plasma-density discontinuity, by ionizing high-Z gas-target dopants or by uncontrolled laser–plasma dynamics. With additional input from the electron spectra, spatially averaged coherent optical transition radiation spectra and particle-in-cell simulations, we reconstruct coherent three-dimensional charge structures. The results demonstrate an essential metrology for next-generation compact X-ray free-electron lasers driven by plasma-based accelerators. Imaging the visible light emitted from accelerated electron bunches reveals important information about the three-dimensional charge structure of the bunches, which strongly influences the performance of free-electron lasers.
等离子体汪场加速器使用台式设备产生相对论飞秒电子束。光学和 X 射线诊断确定了它们的电荷集中在一个微米大小的体积内，但其亚微米级的内部分布对自由电子激光器中的增益或对撞机中的粒子产率有着至关重要的影响，却难以确定其特征。在这里，我们通过对激光唤醒场加速的电子束在离开金属箔时产生的不同波长的相干光过渡辐射同时成像，揭示了电子束电荷的相干辐射成分的结构。图像的主要特征与等离子体电子注入唤醒的方式有独特的关联：等离子体密度不连续、电离高Z气体-目标掺杂物或不受控制的激光-等离子体动力学。通过电子能谱、空间平均相干光转换辐射能谱和粒子入胞模拟的额外输入，我们重建了相干的三维电荷结构。研究结果表明，由等离子体加速器驱动的下一代紧凑型 X 射线自由电子激光器需要一种重要的度量方法。
