Heterogeneous electron transfer from dye molecules into the conduction band continuum of TiO2 has received considerable interest recently. It has been suggested that signatures of vibrational dynamics related to the dye can be distinguished in the photoelectron emission spectra measured shortly after the charge transfer process [1].
In the present study we simulate the time– and energy–resolved spectra of electrons emitted from the TiO2 rutile surface with attached perylene derivatives. The interplay of the molecule and crystal contributions to the spectrum is discussed within a simple tight–binding model. Taking into account the finite escape depth and phonon–induced dephasing of the electrons inside the crystal an interpretation of the experimentally observed non–exponential photoemission signal decay on the femtosecond time–scale is proposed [2].
