Description:
Ultrafast two-photon photoemission has been used to study electron solvation at two-dimensional metal/polar-adsorbate interfaces. The molecular motion that causes the excess electron solvation is manifested as a dynamic shift in the electronic energy. Although the initially excited electron is delocalized in the plane of the interface, interactions with the adsorbate can lead to its localization. A method for determining the spatial extent of the localized electron in the plane of the interface has been developed. This spatial extent was measured to be on the order of a single adsorbate molecule.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Miller, A D -- Bezel, I -- Gaffney, K J -- Garrett-Roe, S -- Liu, S H -- Szymanski, P -- Harris, C B -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Aug 16;297(5584):1163-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley, and Chemical Sciences Division, E.
