  • Identification of a radial surface wave with isotropic amplitude.
  • Quantification of the induced electric dipole and polarizability, matching electromagnetic theory.
  • Observation of a 38±18 fs time delay attributed to hole resonance.

Conclusions:

  • The radial surface wave originates from an out-of-plane electric dipole.
  • Electromagnetic theory accurately predicts the polarizability of the induced dipole.
  • Hole resonance introduces a measurable time delay in wave propagation.
