We investigate the hot carrier dynamics of ZrTe$_5$ by ultrafast time-resolved optical reflectivity. Our results reveal a phonon-mediated across-gap recombination, consistent with its temperature-dependent gap nature as observed previously by photoemission. In addition, two distinct relaxations with a kink feature right after initial photoexcitation are well resolved, suggesting the complexity of electron thermalization process. Our findings indicate that correlated many-body effects play important role for the transient dynamics of ZrTe$_5$.

We report on systematic investigation of hot carrier dynamics in Ti4O7 by ultrafast time-resolved optical reflectivity. We find the transient indication for its two-step insulator-metal (I-M) transition, in which two phase transitions occur from long -range order bipolaron low-temperature insulating (LI) phase to disordered bipolaron high-temperature insulating (HI) phase at Tc1 and to free carrier metallic (M) phase at Tc2. Our results reveal that photoexcitation can effectively lower down both Tc1 and Tc2 with pump fluence increasing, allowing a light-control of I-M transition. We address a phase diagram that provides a framework for the photoinduced I-M transition and helps the potential use of Ti4O7 for photoelectric and thermoelectric devices.
We monitor the dynamics of hot carriers in InSe by means of two photons photoelectron spectroscopy (2PPE). The electrons excited by photons of 3.12 eV experience a manifold relaxation. First, they thermalize to the electronic states degenerate with t he $bar M$ valley. Subsequently, the electronic cooling is dictated by Frohlich coupling with phonons of small momentum transfer. Ab-initio calculations predict cooling rates that are in good agreement with the observed dynamics. We argue that electrons accumulating in states degenerate with the $bar M$ valley could travel through a multilayer flake of InSe with lateral size of 1 micrometer. The hot carriers pave a viable route to the realization of below-bandgap photodiodes and Gunn oscillators. Our results indicate that these technologies may find a natural implementation in future devices based on layered chalcogenides.
We investigate ultrafast dynamics from photoinduced reflectivity of Sr2RhO4 by using femtosecond near-infrared pulses. We observe a clear temperature-dependent anomaly in its electronic dynamics which slows down below 160 K. In addition, coherent osc illations of the A1g symmetric 5.3-THz phonon exhibit a 90-degree shift in its initial phase across TS, indicating a structural change in octahedral rotation distortions. We propose that octahedral structure in Sr2RhO4 evolves at around TS, and it can influence on the non-equilibrium dynamics of photoinduced carriers as well as real-time phonon responses.
We have created a nonequilibrium population of antiferromagnetic spin-waves in Cr2O3, and characterized its dynamics, using frequency- and time-resolved nonlinear optical spectroscopy of the exciton-magnon transition. We observe a time-dependent pump -probe line shape, which results from excitation induced renormalization of the spin-wave band structure. We present a model that reproduces the basic characteristics of the data, in which we postulate the optical nonlinearity to be dominated by interactions with long-wavelength spin-waves, and the dynamics to be due to spin-wave thermalization.

Ultrafast time-resolved differential reflectivity of Bi2Se3 crystals is studied using optical pump-probe spectroscopy. Three distinct relaxation processes are found to contribute to the initial transient reflectivity changes. The deduced relaxation t imescale and the sign of the reflectivity change suggest that electron-phonon interactions and defect-induced charge trapping are the underlying mechanisms for the three processes. After the crystal is exposed to air, the relative strength of these processes is altered and becomes strongly dependent on the excitation photon energy.
