First evidence of transient interactions between $\pi \to {\pi }^{\ast }$ optical excitations and image potential states in graphite

M. Montagnese, S. Pagliara, S. Dal Conte +3

Here we report the experimental evidence of the interactions between the excitations of the $\pi \to {\pi }^{\ast }$ optical transition and the image potential states (IPS) of highly oriented pyr…
