In recent years, band bending at oxide semiconductor surfaces induced by chemical doping or electric fields has gained considerable attention, because it leads to metallic surfaces with interesting properties not found in the bulk semiconductor. These properties include high electron mobility, magnetism and superconductivity. Optical generation of such surface metals on ultrafast timescales would pave the way for novel high-speed electronics. In this thesis, I investigate the photoresponse of the (10-10) surface of zinc oxide (ZnO) to femtosecond laser pulses using time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. The semiconductor ZnO is widely used in optoelectronics due to its transparency for visible light and its ease of nanostructu...
