Abstract

The femtosecond time-resolved two-photon photoemission (TR-2PP) and the ultra high vacuum (UHV) surface science techniques are integrated to investigate the electronic structures and the interfacial electron transfer dynamics at the atomically ordered adsorbate overlayers on TiO2 singlecrystalline surfaces. Our research into the CH3OH/TiO2 system exhibits complex dynamics, providing abundant information with regard to electron transport and solvation processes in the interfacial solvent structures. These represent the fundamentally physical, photochemical, and photocatalytic reactions of protic chemicals covered with metal-oxides.
