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 …

In this review we describe the development of photoemission spectroscopy (PES) from the
first historic observations of the photoelectric effect by Hertz and Hallwachs to state-of-the-art …

At the atomic-cluster scale, pure boron is markedly similar to carbon, forming simple planar
molecules and cage-like fullerenes. Theoretical studies predict that two-dimensional (2D) …

Collective electronic excitations at metal surfaces are well known to play a key role in a wide
spectrum of science, ranging from physics and materials science to biology. Here we focus …

Using first-principles calculations and angle-resolved photoemission, we show that the spin-
orbit interaction leads to a strong splitting of the surface-state bands on low-index surfaces of …

We present a comprehensive photoemission study of the L-gap surface states of the (111)
surfaces of Cu, Ag, and Au by high-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy …

We present a spin resolving “momentum microscope” for the high resolution imaging of the
momentum distribution of photoelectrons. Measurements of the band structure of a Au (111) …

The ability of a scanning tunneling microscope to manipulate single atoms is used to build
well-defined gold chains on NiAl (110). The electronic properties of the one-dimensional …

Under certain conditions, a fermion in a superconductor can separate in space into two parts
known as Majorana zero modes, which are immune to decoherence from local noise …

The internal thermalization dynamics of the conduction electrons is investigated in silver
nanoparticles with radius ranging from 13 to 1.6 nm using a femtosecond IR pump–UV …
