Femtosecond time-resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopy of C6H5F/Cu(111) — •Ishita Agarwal, Isabella Avigo, Manuel Ligges, Ping Zhou, and Uwe Bovensiepen — Faculty of Physics, University of Duisburg-Essen, Duisburg
The electron dynamics at a metal-organic interface is studied with two-photon photoemission (2PPE) spectroscopy. We report here binding energies, band dispersion, and lifetimes of unoccupied metal-molecular interface states for up to 3 monolayers (ML) of mono-fluorobenzene (C6H5F) adsorbed on Cu(111). For all coverages, an unoccupied electronic state with a binding energy of 3.67±0.05 eV above the Fermi level (EF) was found. In addition, between 1 and 2 ML, a second unoccupied feature with a binding energy of 3.54±0.05 eV above EF was observed. Using angle-resolved spectroscopy the band dispersion of these unoccupied states was studied and an effective mass of (0.76±0.20)×me and (0.8±0.2)×me was found, respectively. Time-resolved 2PPE measurements indicate an ultrashort lifetime of about 10 fs. Overall, the observations resemble previous coverage dependent 2PPE studies of C6F6/Cu(111)[1] and C6H6/Cu(111)[2] which suggest a structural influence on the unoccupied electronic structure at the interface.
