چکیده
Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is a versatile tool, which provides insight into electronic structure and dynamics in condensed matter, surfaces, interfaces and molecules. The history of PES is briefly outlined and illustrated by current developments in the field of time-resolved PES. Our group's research is mostly aimed at studying ultrafast processes and associated lifetimes related to electronic excitation at solid surfaces.

Dynamics of electron transfer at polar molecule-metal interfaces: The role of thermally activated tunnelling Short Title: Dynamics of electron transfer at polar molecule-metal interfaces
Heterogeneous electron transfer across interfaces is frequently discussed on the basis of Marcus Theory taking into account rearrangements of the solvent along a nuclear coordinate q. The electron transfer process itself occurs via tunnelling through a barrier normal to the interface. The key point is not whether tunnelling occurs, but whether thermally activated solvent fluctuations initiate t...
متن کاملElectron solvation in finite systems: femtosecond dynamics of iodide. (Water)n anion clusters
Electron solvation dynamics in photoexcited anion clusters of I-(D2O)n=4-6 and I-(H2O)4-6 were probed by using femtosecond photoelectron spectroscopy (FPES). An ultrafast pump pulse excited the anion to the cluster analog of the charge-transfer-to-solvent state seen for I- in aqueous solution. Evolution of this state was monitored by time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy using an ultrafast p...
متن کاملCharge Transfer Dynamics at Dye-Sensitized ZnO and TiO2 Interfaces Studied by Ultrafast XUV Photoelectron Spectroscopy.
Interfacial charge transfer from photoexcited ruthenium-based N3 dye molecules into ZnO thin films received controversial interpretations. To identify the physical origin for the delayed electron transfer in ZnO compared to TiO2, we probe directly the electronic structure at both dye-semiconductor interfaces by applying ultrafast XUV photoemission spectroscopy. In the range of pump-probe time d...
متن کاملExcited states in electron-transfer reaction products: ultrafast relaxation dynamics of an isolated acceptor radical anion.
The spectroscopy and ultrafast relaxation dynamics of excited states of the radical anion of a representative charge-transfer acceptor molecule, 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane, have been studied in the gas phase using time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. The photoelectron spectra reveal that at least two anion excited states are bound. Time-resolved studies show that ...
متن کاملUltrafast electron dynamics in the charge density wave material TbTe3
Gaining insights into the mechanisms of how order and broken symmetry emerges from many-particle interactions is a major challenge in solid state physics. Most experimental techniques—such as angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES)—probe the single-particle excitation spectrum and extract information about the ordering mechanism and collective effects, often indirectly through theory....
