Abstract
This review reports on experimental and theoretical results on the inelastic decay of optically excited volume electrons in different types of metals, including simple metals (Al), noble metals (Au, Ag, Cu), transition metals (Ta, Mo, Rh, Co, Fe, Ni) and rare earth metals (Gd, Tb, Yb, La). The comparison of the different materials and material classes provides particular insight into the relevance of the localization and delocalization of electronic states for inelastic carrier scattering processes. The discussion of the data illustrates furthermore the capabilities and limitations of the time-resolved two-photon photoemission technique as well as current theoretical approaches in analyzing and determining inelastic lifetimes of excited electrons.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Surface Science publishes progress reports and review articles by invited authors of international stature. The papers are aimed at surface scientists and cover various aspects of surface science. Papers in the new section Progress Highlights, are more concise and general at the same time, and are aimed at all scientists. Because of the transdisciplinary nature of surface science, topics are chosen for their timeliness from across the wide spectrum of scientific and engineering subjects. The journal strives to promote the exchange of ideas between surface scientists in the various areas. Authors are encouraged to write articles that are of relevance and interest to both established surface scientists and newcomers in the field.
