摘要
Electron dynamics induced by optical excitation from the occupied Shockley surface state to an unoccupied state localized on Cs atoms on Cu(111) is studied by interferometric time-resolved two-photon photoemission. With near-resonant excitation, beat structures are observed in interferometric two-pulse correlation measurements, where the two-photon photoemission intensity is measured as a function of pump-probe delay time. The quantum beats that originate from the frequency differences among initial-intermediate and intermediate-final states, and the carrier frequency are reproduced qualitatively by a three-level optical Bloch equation model.
