Hetero-metallic bilayer systems have developed into a highly tunable class of materials where the electronic properties can be controlled by the interaction across the interface. However, the implementation of low dimensional materials in new nanoscale devices is limited by the comprehension of the hot carrier dynamics of such materials.
Here, we focus on the quantum-well state system of one monolayer Pb on a Ag(111) single crystal. Using light with different polarizations, we are able to identify three different states at the Pb-Ag interface with characteristic momentum dependent lifetimes. Furthermore, we performed time-resolved 2-photon momentum microscopy (tr-2PMM) measurements with a phase stabilized interferometer to obtain information about the excitation pathways and decay mechanisms at the hetero-metallic bilayer system to extend todays understanding of the electron dynamics in low dimensional systems.
