Abstract

Buried interface states in Ar/Cu(100) were studied by means of one- and two-photon photoemission experiments. With increasing Ar overlayer thickness, a transition from broad electron scattering resonances in the Ar conduction band into a hydrogen-like series of quasi-bound states at the Ar/Cu interface was observed. The thickness dependence of energies and lifetimes is compared to theoretical resonance positions and linewidths derived from a parameterized one-dimensional potential.
