Abstract : The charge transfer time from an excited organic molecule both adsorbed on gold and graphene is studied in terms of the resonant linewidth of the molecular orbital energy levels interacting with the valence band of the substrate. The calculations are performed by density functional theory including the van der Waals contribution. Experiments are carried out by the core level resonant spectroscopies with fs resolution. The core valence exciton is described by a static perturbation of the atomic potential. The calculated widths are consistent with the experimental transfer times. They display a dependence on the molecular adsorption angle both in theory and experiments, and this effect is predicted to be function of the excited orbital.
