This paper reviews recent experimental and theoretical work on some low-index surfaces of
the group V semimetal bismuth. The main focus is on the geometric and electronic structure …

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 …

More than five years have passed since the first edition of this book was published. Surface
science is still a very active field of research, and the fact that the Nobel Prize 2007 in …

The important role played by hot electrons in photocatalysis and light harvesting has
attracted great interest in their dynamics and mechanisms of generation. Here, we …

Plasmonics is a rapidly growing field spanning research and applications across chemistry,
physics, optics, energy harvesting, and medicine. Ultrafast photoemission electron …

Frontier orbitals determine fundamental molecular properties such as chemical reactivities.
Although electron distributions of occupied orbitals can be imaged in momentum space by …

Ultrafast two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D IR) has been advanced in recent years
toward measuring signals from only a monolayer of sample molecules at solid–liquid and …

Applications in photodetection, photochemistry, and active metamaterials and metasurfaces
require fundamental understanding of ultrafast nonthermal and thermal electron processes …

Optically induced intersite spin transfer (OISTR) promises manipulation of spin systems
within the ultimate time limit of laser excitation. Following its prediction, signatures of ultrafast …

Depending on the applied strength, electromagnetic fields in electronic materials can induce
dipole transitions between eigenstates or distort the Coulomb potentials that define them …
