Electron dynamics in solid state systems and at interfaces play a crucial role for the performance of nanoscale spintronic devices. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the electron dynamics in the materials used for such devices.
The inelastic lifetimes of electronic states can be directly obtained with time resolved two-photon photoemission, using a cross-polarized pump-probe setup. Combining this technique with momentum spectroscopy in a ToF-PEEM operated in K-space mode, we are able to observe the energy dependent electron dynamics for each point in the accessible momentum space. This allows us to analyze cross-correlation traces for different intermediate state energies and different positions in the kx/ky-plane. As first model systems, we focused on bulk states of simple noble metal surfaces using different angles of incide of laser light. Based on the observed behavior, we aim to tune the electron lifetime of the metal surface by adsorption of organic molecules
