Surface-state electron dynamics in noble metals
Theoretical investigations of surface-state electron dynamics in noble metals are reported. The dynamically screened interaction is computed, within many-body theory, by going beyond a free-electron description of the metal surface. Calculations of the inelastic linewidth of Shockley surface-state electrons and holes in these materials are also presented. While the linewidth of excited holes at...
متن کاملElectron lifetime in a Shockley-type metal-organic interface state.
The lifetimes of electrons at the interface between 3,4,9,10-perylene-tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride (PTCDA) and Ag(111) have been studied by means of time- and angle-resolved two-photon photoemission. We observe a dispersing unoccupied state 0.6 eV above the Fermi level with an effective electron mass of 0.39m{e} at the Gamma[over ] point. The short lifetime of 54 fs is indicative of a large...
متن کاملMolecule-induced interface states dominate charge transport in Si-alkyl-metal junctions.
Semiconductor-molecule-metal junctions consisting of alkanethiol monolayers self-assembled on both p(+) and n(-) type highly doped Si(111) wires contacted with a 10 µm Au wire in a crossed-wire geometry are examined. Low temperature transport measurements reveal that molecule-induced semiconductor interface states control charge transport across these systems. Inelastic electron tunneling spect...
متن کاملScattering of hot electrons by adatoms at metal surfaces.
The scattering of electrons in image-potential states by Cu adatoms on Cu(001) surfaces has been investigated by means of time- and angle-resolved two-photon photoemission. Several interband and intraband-scattering mechanisms have been identified and their contributions to the total decay of the states determined quantitatively. The adsorbates mainly cause quasielastic scattering processes. In...
متن کاملDesign of the local spin polarization at the organic-ferromagnetic interface.
By means of ab initio calculations and spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy experiments the creation of a complex energy dependent magnetic structure with a tailored spin-polarized interface is demonstrated. We show this novel effect by adsorbing organic molecules containing π(p(z)) electrons onto a magnetic surface. The hybridization of the out-of-plane p(z) atomic-type orbitals with t...
