Image-potential states on several stepped copper surfaces were studied by time, energy, and angle-resolved two-photon photoelectron spectroscopy. For different step densities binding energies and effective masses were determined in the energy-resolved and decay rates in the time-resolved mode of two-photon photoemission. The asymmetry with respect to the electron motion up or down the steps of the total decay rates is enhanced for less-ordered step arrangements. Elastic interband scattering strongly depends on details of the backfolding of the bands by the periodic step structure. Elastic intraband scattering is of similar importance as inelastic decay may contribute significantly to the asymmetry of the decay rates.
