Graphene-supported metal clusters: A two photon photoemission study — Kira Jochmann and •Thorsten Bernhardt — Institut für Oberflächenchemie und Katalyse, Universität Ulm, 89069 Ulm

During the last decade considerable attention was drawn to the growth of graphene on metal single crystal surfaces, where it provides an ideal template for the ordered growth of regular metal cluster arrays. Building on various investigations about the detailed growth of these cluster super-lattices, we make use of the possibility to easily grow nanostructures with equally spaced and mono-disperse clusters for fundamental research in laser selective photochemistry. Our new experimental setup enables time-resolved measurements due to a femtosecond laser system on the one hand and surface analysis via scanning tunnelling microscopy on the other hand. In first light interaction measurements time-resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopy (2PPES) was applied to gain an insight into the unoccupied electronic structure of the Ir(111)/graphene/Ir cluster system at different graphene and cluster coverages. In subsequent experiments the combination of femtosecond laser pump-probe mass spectrometry with resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization and STM will be employed to reveal photo-dissociation dynamics of different adsorbate molecules with spatio-temporal resolution.
