Abstract
Image potential states on physisorbate-covered metal surfaces are fascinating model systems for the transition from the quasi-free behavior of electrons at bare metal surfaces towards the molecular electronics in more complex organic overlayers. This article discusses the fundamental properties of these systems and the experimental highlights in the study of rare gas and simple molecular overlayers on noble metal surfaces since the early 90s.
