The demonstrations of visible-light-driven chemical transformations on plasmonic metal
nanostructures have led to the emergence of a new field in heterogeneous catalysis known …

Femtochemistry addresses fundamental processes of chemical reaction dynamics such as
bond formation and breaking, which occur typically on a femtosecond time scale (1 fs) 10-15 …

Time-resolved two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy is used to study the dynamics of non-
equilibrium electron and hole distributions at bare and D 2 O-covered Ru (001) following …

Time-resolved two-photon photoemission (2PPE) at various photon energies is used to
investigate the relaxation dynamics of hot electrons in Cu (111), applying auto-and cross …

Theoretical aspects of dynamical processes at metal surfaces are reviewed. Experimental
challenges to theory are presented and progress toward meeting these challenges is …

We present the first demonstration of the use of ultrafast extreme-ultraviolet pulses to directly
monitor a surface chemical reaction on femtosecond time scales. By adsorbing molecular …

The absorption of photons by an adsorbate/substrate complex may induce a wide range of
physical and chemical processes, such as desorption, dissociation and reactions. Although …

Irradiation of a Ru (001) surface covered with CO using intense femtosecond laser pulses
(800 nm, 130 fs) leads to desorption of CO with a nonlinear dependence of the yield on the …

Desorption of CO from Cu (100) by femtosecond laser pulses was investigated using state
and time-resolved techniques. The results are well described by two models based on …

Laser pulses of 110 fs duration at 310 nm are used to desorb O 2 from a Pt (111) surface
over a range of laser fluences which encompasses the single electronic excitation regime at …
