Figure S1. Demonstration of the measurement of the spatial resolution from one PEEM
image.
Figure S2. Side view SEM image of the annealed Au nanoparticles.
Movie01. (In a separate .mov file) A typical time-resolved movie recorded for the
annealed nanoparticle sample.
Movie02. (In a separate .mov file) A movie recording the out-of-phase oscillation of the
hotspots from two nanoparticle arrays.
Figure S1
Figure S1. The spatial resolution of PEEM is usually determined by measuring the distance
between the 16% and 84% intensity points of a cross section of small features. As an example
here, it is determined to be 14.4 nm measured from one of the hot spots.
Figure S2
Figure S2. Side view SEM image (view angle is 75° from the surface normal) of the annealed Au
nanoparticles. The shape of the nanoparticles is closer to nanodisk.
