  2. INTRODUCTION • Femtosecond Laser and • tunability of photon energy • → Non-Linear Photoemission • Study of image-potential states on Ag(100) at different photon energies: effective masses and lifetimes. • WHY IMAGE POTENTIAL STATES? • Relaxation of electrons into bulk states can be studied directly in the time- domain with pump-probe techniques. U. Höfer et al., Science 277, 1480 (1997). W. Berthold et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 056805 (2002). It is a many body interesting problem. A.García-Lekue et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 096401 (2002). J. Kliewer et al., Science 288, 1399 (2000). • Interplay between image-potential states and dynamics of molecules at surfaces. • A. D. Miller et al., Science 297, 1163 (2002).

  14. Ag(100) SELECTION RULES DIPOLE SELECTION RULES: J=0 in S-polarization J≠0 in P-polarization WHICH IS THE POPULATION AND PHOTOEMISSION MECHANISM? We can exclude: Role of surface roughness Ponderomotive and tunnel effects at the surface, because the radiation intensity is too low. (I~0.1GW/cm2)

  15. CONCLUSIONS • Non-linear photoemission on image-potential states in Ag(100). • Improvement of the precision in the measurement of the effective masses and lifetimes. • Observation of image-potential states also when hnE1-Efermi. In this case the image-potential states can be populated and photoemitted also in S-polarization.
