| Popis: | The decay rates of electron and hole excitations at metal surfaces as determined by a scanning tunnelling microscope are presented and discussed. Surface-localised electron states as diverse as Shockley-type surface states and quantum well states confined to ultrathin alkali metal adsorption layers are covered. Recent developments in the analysis of the experimental procedures that are used to determine decay rates with the scanning tunnelling microscope, namely the analysis of line shapes and the spatial decay of standing wave patterns, are discussed. Financial support by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the British Council is gratefully acknowledged.
