Time-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy to Probe Ultrafast Charge Transfer and Electron Dynamics in Solid Surface Systems and at Metal- Molecule Interfaces

Abstract

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.
