A monolayer of graphene grown epitaxially on the silicon face of silicon carbide was investigated using angle- and time-resolved two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy. In this measurement, the surface electrons were excited by a UV pump laser with a photon energy of 4.66 eV and a pulse duration of 58 fs. Using an IR probe puls with an energy of 1.55 eV and a pulse width of 33 fs, we determined the energy dispersion and lifetime of the lowest unoccupied image potential state. The lifetime of this state was observed to be 50 fs. Moreover, we measured the work function of the surface, which amounts to 4.5 eV.
