41. These secondary, hot electrons are excited by VIS light and probed by UV photons.
42. Spectra are corrected for the constant, non-correlated VIS-2PPE background (see Fig. 3b, t-11-13 s). The spectrum at 0.25 s was extracted from the left panel in Fig. 3b.

45. Adsorption of a xenon overlayer on top of the D2O/Ru(001) leads to a vanishing of the eT feature, which demonstrates that the eT electrons are localized at the (Xe-covered) ice-vacuum interface and are influenced by the presence of the rare gas atoms. A detailed discussion of Xe titration experiments can be found in J. Stähler, M. Mehlhorn, U. Bovensiepen, M. Meyer, D. O. Kusmierek, K. Morgenstern and M. Wolf, Phys. Rev. Lett., 2007, 98, 206105.
