The application of UV-vis, angle-resolved, two-photon photoemission spectroscopy (AR-2PPE) to metal interfaces in ultrahigh vacuum allows the characterization of electron dynamics on an ultrafast timescale. Electron solvation and localization, charge transfer processes and the interfacial band structure of a wide range of adsorbed ultrathin films can be studied. Interfacial electronic processes are of fundamental physical importance in organic semiconductors, electrochemical solvents and large band gap semiconductors and have been characterized with AR-2PPE.
