Abstract
The electron transfer dynamics of oligo(p-phenylene-ethynylene) (OPE) SAM on Au(111) was studied by resonant photoemission spectroscopy. The ultrafast electron transfer from OPE molecules to Au substrate was clearly observed. The time scale for this charge transfer is much less than 6 fs, the core-hole lifetime for C 1s. This strongly suggests that there is an intense interfacial electronic coupling between OPE molecules and the Au substrate.
