Dynamical Evolution of Anisotropic Response in Black Phosphorus under Ultrafast Photoexcitation

Abstract

Black phosphorus has recently emerged as a promising material for high performance electronic and optoelectronic device for its high mobility, tunable mid-infrared bandgap and anisotropic electronic properties. Dynamical evolution of photo excited carriers and its induced change of transient electronic properties are critical for materials' high field performance, but remains to be explored for black phosphorus. In this work, we perform angle resolved transient reflection spectroscopy to study the dynamical evolution of anisotropic properties of black phosphorus under photo excitation. We find that the anisotropy of reflectivity is enhanced in the pump induced quasi-equilibrium state, suggesting an extraordinary enhancement of the anisotropy in dynamical conductivity in hot carrier dominated regime. These results raise enormous possibilities of creating high field, angle sensitive electronic, optoelectronic and remote sensing devices exploiting the dynamical electronic anisotropic with black phosphorus.
