The dynamical behavior of image-potential states has been studied with two-
photon photoemission for CO on Cu(100), Pure dephasing is observed as the l
oss of coherence in quantum beats, or derived from linewidth and lifetime m
easurements. energy electron diffraction is also established. A correlation
to the surface order as observed by low-energy electron diffraction is als
o established. [S0031-9007(98)08070-3].
