Excited electron dynamics in spatially aligned 7a-graphene nanoribbons on Au(788) — •Nils Fabian Kleimeier1, Alexander Timmer1, Harry Mönig1, Xinliang Feng2, Klaus Müllen2, Harald Fuchs1, and Helmut Zacharias11Physikalisches Institut, Universität Münster, Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 10, 48149 Münster, Germany — 2Max-Planck-Institute for Polymer Research, Ackermannweg 10, 55128 Mainz, Germany

Photoelectron spectroscopy of spatially aligned straight 7-armchair graphene nanoribbons (7-aGNRs) on Au(788) was carried out under ultra high vacuum conditions utilizing a time-of-flight spectrometer and a multi-anode detector. We found two unoccupied states at energies of E1=3.6 eV and E2=3.9 eV above the Fermi energy by exciting the sample with different photon energies (3.94 eV to 4.35 eV) from a femtosecond OPA. When exciting the sample with ultrashort pules (20 fs) at λ=390 nm (hν=3.15 eV) by frequency- doubling the output of a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser amplifier, these states can further be investigated by 3-photon photoemission using a third state at an energy of E3-EF=0.6 eV as intermediate. All three states are in agreement with IPE measurements we performed previously on this system [1]. Thus the electronic dynamics of the state can be measured by time-resolved 3-photon photoemission spectroscopy with cross-polarized laser pulses. Preliminary evaluation of these measurements indicates electronic lifetimes of the unoccupied states of τ∼110 fs and 85 fs for the states at E-EF 3.9 eV and 3.6 eV, respectively.
