We report on the direct mapping of electron transfer in the momentum space of bulk MoS$_2$ by means of time- and angle-resolved two-photon photoemission with a high-harmonic probe. For this purpose, we have combined a high-repetition rate high-harmonic source with tunable femtosecond pump pulses and a 3D ($k_x, k_y, E$) electron spectrometer. We show that optical excitation slightly above the A exciton resonance results in an immediate occupation of the conduction band at $overline{K}$ followed by an ultrafast transfer ($< 50$~fs) to the conduction band minimum at $overline{Sigma}$. Both signals, at $overline{K}$ and $overline{Sigma}$, do not vanish over the observed period of 400~fs. The technique described here enables direct access to the charge transfer dynamics in $k$-space and allows the study of decay times and decay channels in various systems with dependence on the excess energy or helicity of the excitation.

Degenerate extrema in the energy dispersion of charge carriers in solids, also referred to as valleys, can be regarded as a binary quantum degree of freedom, which can potentially be used to implement valleytronic concepts in van der Waals heterostru ctures based on transition metal dichalcogenides. Using magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy, we achieve a deeper insight into the valley polarization and depolarization mechanisms of interlayer excitons formed across a MoS$_2$/MoSe$_2$/MoS$_2$ heterostructure. We account for the non-trivial behavior of the valley polarization as a function of the magnetic field by considering the interplay between exchange interaction and phonon mediated intervalley scattering in a system consisting of Zeeman-split energy levels. Our results represent a crucial step towards the understanding of the properties of interlayer excitons, with strong implications for the implementation of atomically thin valleytronic devices.
We report magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy of gated MoS$_2$ monolayers in high magnetic fields to 28 T. At B = 0T and electron density $n_ssim 10^{12}cm^-2$, we observe three trion resonances that cannot be explained within a single-particle pi cture. Employing ab initio calculations that take into account three-particle correlation effects as well as local and non-local electron-hole exchange interaction, we identify those features as quantum superpositions of inter- and intravalley spin states. We experimentally investigate the mixed character of the trion wave function via the filling factor dependent valley Zeeman shift in positive and negative magnetic fields. Our results highlight the importance of exchange interactions for exciton physics in monolayer MoS$_2$ and provide new insights into the microscopic understanding of trion physics in 2D multi-valley semiconductors for low excess carrier densities.

A theoretical frame for two-photon photoemission is derived from the general theory of pump-probe photoemission, assuming that not only the probe but also the pump pulse is sufficiently weak. This allows us to use a perturbative approach to compute t he lesser Green function within the Keldysh formalism. Two-photon photoemission spectroscopy is a widely used analytical tool to study non-equilibrium phenomena in solid materials. Our theoretical approach aims at a material-specific, realistic and quantitative description of the time-dependent spectrum based on a picture of effectively independent electrons as described by the local-density approximation in band-structure theory. To this end we follow Pendrys one-step theory of the photoemission process as close as possible and heavily make use of concepts of multiple-scattering theory, such as the representation of the final state by a time-reversed low-energy electron diffraction state. The formalism is fully relativistic and allows for a quantitative calculation of the time-dependent photocurrent for moderately correlated systems like simple metals or more complex compounds like topological insulators. An application to the Ag(100) surface is discussed in detail.
Optical spectra of two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) are influenced by complex multi-particle excitonic states. Their theoretical analysis requires solving the many-body problem, which in most cases, is prohibitively complicated . In this work, we calculate the optical spectra by exact diagonalization of the three-particle Hamiltonian within the Tamm-Dancoff approximation where the doping effects are accounted for via the Pauli blocking mechanism, modelled by a discretized mesh in the momentum space. The single-particle basis is extracted from the {it ab initio} calculations. Obtained three-particle eigenstates and the corresponding transition dipole matrix elements are used to calculate the linear absorption spectra as a function of the doping level. Results for negatively doped MoS$_2$ monolayer (ML) are in an excellent quantitative agreement with the available experimental data, validating our approach. The results predict additional spectral features due to the intervalley exciton that is optically dark in an undoped ML but is brightened by the doping. Our approach can be applied to a plethora of other atomically thin semiconductors, where the doping induced brightening of the many-particle states is also anticipated.
Time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (trARPES) is a powerful spectroscopic method to measure the ultrafast electron dynamics directly in momentum-space. However, band gap materials with exceptional strong Coulomb interaction such as mo nolayer transition metal dichlacogenides (TMDC) exhibit tightly bound excitons, which dominate their optical properties. This rises the question whether excitons, in particular their formation and relaxation dynamics, can be detected in photoemission. Here, we develope a fully microscopic theory of the temporal dynamics of excitonic time- and angle resolved photoemission with particular focus on the phonon-mediated thermalization of optically excited excitons to momentum-forbidden dark exciton states. We find that trARPES is able to probe the ultrafast exciton formation and relaxation throughout the Brillouin zone.
