We investigate the dynamical formation of excitons from photoexcited electron-hole plasma and its subsequent decay dynamics in monolayer MoS2 grown by chemical vapor deposition using ultrafast pump and terahertz probe spectroscopy. Different photoexcited electron-hole states are resolved based on their distinct responses to THz photon and decay lifetime. The observed transient THz transmission can be fit with two decay components: a fast component with decay lifetime of 20 ps, which is attributed to exciton life time including the exciton formation and subsequent intraexciton relaxation; a slow component with extremely long decay lifetime of several ns due to either localized exciton state or a long live dark exciton state which is uncovered for the first time. The relaxation dynamics is further verified by temperature and pump fluence dependent studies of the decay time constants.

Electron relaxation is studied in endofullerene Mg@C60, after an initial localized photoexcitation in Mg, by nonadiabtic molecular dynamics simulations. To ensure reliability, two methods are used: i) an independent particle approach with a DFT descr
iption of the ground state and ii) HF ground state with many-body effects for the excited state dynamics. Both methods exhibit similar relaxation times leading to an ultrafast decay and charge transfer from Mg to C60 within tens of femtoseconds. Method (i) further elicits a robust transient-trap of the transferred electron that can delay the electron-hole recombination. Results shall motivate experiments to probe these ultrafast processes by two-photon transient absorption spectroscopy in gas phase, in solution, or as thin films.
We investigated the photoexcited carrier dynamics in Si by using optical pump and terahertz probe spectroscopy in an energy range between 2 meV and 25 meV. The formation dynamics of excitons from unbound e-h pairs was studied through the emergence of
the 1s-2p transition of excitons at 12 meV (3 THz). We revealed the thermalization mechanism of the photo-injected hot carriers (electrons and holes) in the low temperature lattice system by taking account of the interband and intraband scattering of carriers with acoustic and optical phonons. The overall cooling rate of electrons and holes was numerically calculated on the basis of a microscopic analysis of the phonon scattering processes, and the results well account for the experimentally observed carrier cooling dynamics. The long formation time of excitons in Si after the above-gap photoexcitation is reasonably accounted for by the thermalization process of photoexcited carriers.
Monolayer group VI transition metal dichalcogenides have recently emerged as semiconducting alternatives to graphene in which the true two-dimensionality (2D) is expected to illuminate new semiconducting physics. Here we investigate excitons and trio
ns (their singly charged counterparts) which have thus far been challenging to generate and control in the ultimate 2D limit. Utilizing high quality monolayer molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), we report the unambiguous observation and electrostatic tunability of charging effects in positively charged (X+), neutral (Xo), and negatively charged (X-) excitons in field effect transistors via photoluminescence. The trion charging energy is large (30 meV), enhanced by strong confinement and heavy effective masses, while the linewidth is narrow (5 meV) at temperatures below 55 K. This is greater spectral contrast than in any known quasi-2D system. We also find the charging energies for X+ and X- to be nearly identical implying the same effective mass for electrons and holes.
The advent of Dirac materials has made it possible to realize two dimensional gases of relativistic fermions with unprecedented transport properties in condensed matter. Their photoconductive control with ultrafast light pulses is opening new perspec
tives for the transmission of current and information. Here we show that the interplay of surface and bulk transient carrier dynamics in a photoexcited topological insulator can control an essential parameter for photoconductivity - the balance between excess electrons and holes in the Dirac cone. This can result in a strongly out of equilibrium gas of hot relativistic fermions, characterized by a surprisingly long lifetime of more than 50 ps, and a simultaneous transient shift of chemical potential by as much as 100 meV. The unique properties of this transient Dirac cone make it possible to tune with ultrafast light pulses a relativistic nanoscale Schottky barrier, in a way that is impossible with conventional optoelectronic materials.
We directly measure the hole spin lifetime in ferromagnetic GaMnAs via time- and polarization-resolved spectroscopy. Below the Curie temperature Tc, an ultrafast photoexcitation with linearly-polarized light is shown to create a non-equilibrium hole
spin population via the dynamical polarization of holes through p-d exchange scattering with ferromagnetically-ordered Mn spins, and we characterize their relaxation dynamics. The observed relaxation consists of a distinct three-step recovery : (i) femtosecond (fs) hole spin relaxation ~ $160-200 fs, (ii) picosecond (ps) hole energy relaxation ~ 1-2 ps, and (iii) a coherent, damped Mn spin precession with a period of ~ 250 ps. The transient amplitude of the hole spin component diminishes with increasing temperature, directly following the ferromagnetic order, while the hole energy amplitude shows negligible temperature change, consistent with our interpretation. Our results thus establish the hole spin lifetimes in ferromagnetic semiconductors and demonstrate a novel spectroscopy method for studying non-equilibrium hole spins in the presence of correlation and magnetic order.
