abstract = {The interaction of light with nanometer-sized solids
provides the means of focusing optical radiation to
sub-wavelength spatial scales with associated electric field
enhancements offering new opportunities for multifaceted
applications. We utilize collective effects in nanoplasmas
with sub-two-cycle light pulses of extreme intensity to
extend the waveform-dependent electron acceleration regime
into the relativistic realm, by using 10**6 times higher
intensity than previous works to date. Through irradiation
of nanometric tungsten needles, we obtain multi-MeV energy
electron bunches, whose energy and direction can be steered
by the combined effect of the induced near-field and the
laser field. We identified a two-step mechanism for the
electron acceleration: (i) ejection within a
sub-half-optical- cycle into the near-field from the target
at >TV/m acceleration fields, and (ii) subsequent
acceleration in vacuum by the intense laser field. Our
observations raise the prospect of isolating and controlling
relativistic attosecond electron bunches, and pave the way
for next generation electron and photon sources.},
