Time- and angle-resolved two-photon photoemission studies of electron localization and solvation at interfaces
We review recent work in the study of interfacial electronic states and electron–adsorbate interactions with timeand angle-resolved two-photon photoemission (2PPE) spectroscopy. Results for interfaces between noble-metal surfaces and organic as well as inorganic dielectric overlayers are presented. Layer structure and thickness have pronounced effects on the spatial extents, binding energies, a...
متن کاملMomentum-resolved lifetimes of image-potential States on cu(100).
The dependence of the inelastic lifetime of electrons in the image-potential states of Cu(100) on their momentum parallel to the surface has been studied experimentally by means of time- and angle-resolved two-photon photoemission and theoretically by evaluating the electron self-energy within the GW approximation. The pronounced decrease of the n = 1 lifetime from 40 fs at normal emission (k(p...
متن کاملFemtosecond Studies of Electron Dynamics at Dielectric-Metal Interfaces
Ultrafast relaxation dynamics of electrons at dielectric-metal interfaces reflect the nature of the electronic interaction with both the substrate and the adsorbed layer. The full understanding of macroscopic electrical transport properties across an interface requires the knowledge of the energies, spatial extent of the interfacial electronic states, and the electron scattering length. With th...
متن کاملElectron scattering at steps: image-potential states on Cu(119).
The dynamics of image-potential states on Cu(119) have been studied with two-photon photoemission. Direction-dependent quasielastic scattering processes with large momentum transfer are attributed to the finite terrace-width distribution on the stepped surface. This effectively couples image-potential states via interband scattering and leads to an asymmetry of the decay rate. Electrons in the ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Coinage Transition Metal (Cu, Ag, Au) Substitutions on Two-electron Redox Potential of Quinones
Quinones are a class of compounds which have widespread importance in chemistry, biology and medicine. Because of their appropriate performance in electron transferring rate, quinones are among the most applicable mediators in biosensors. Recently, the effects of different non-metal substitutions on redox potential of quinone have been investigated to design suitable mediators for different ele...
