Abstract

We used time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to measure the changes in electron self energy for the occupied surface resonance near the surface Brillouin zone center of Ni/W(110) single crystalline films following optical excitations with a fs laser pulse. Binding energy and lifetime display pronounced variations on a 100 fs time scale. We provide evidence that this is directly linked to the laser induced population of electronic levels.
