Layer and orbital interference effects in photoemission from transition metal dichalcogenides

Abstract

In this work, we provide an effective model to evaluate the one-electron dipole matrix elements governing optical excitations and the photoemission process of single-layer (SL) and bilayer (BL) transition metal dichalcogenides. By utilizing a $\vec{k}\cdot \vec{p}$ Hamiltonian, we calculate the photoemission intensity as observed in angle-resolved photoemission from the valence bands around the $\bar{K}$-valley of MoS${}_2$. In SL MoS${}_2$ we find a significant masking of intensity outside the first Brillouin zone, which originates from an in-plane interference effect between photoelectrons emitted from the Mo $d$ orbitals. In BL MoS${}_2$ an additional inter-layer interference effect leads to a distinctive modulation of intensity with photon energy. Finally, we use the semiconductor Bloch equations to model the optical excitation in a time- and angle-resolved pump-probe photoemission experiment. We find that the momentum dependence of an optically excited population in the conduction band leads to an observable dichroism in both SL and BL MoS${}_2$.
