Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides under finite-pulse polarized radiation
arXiv:2502.08546 · doi:10.1088/2515-7639/ade292
Abstract
Recent advances in time-resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy have enabled access to ultrafast electron states and their spin dynamics in solids. Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides are paradigmatic two-dimensional materials where electron momentum and spin degrees of freedom are coupled, being suitable candidates for time-resolved spectroscopy studies. In this work, we present a thorough study of the electron dynamics when these materials are subject to an intense finite-pulse driving radiation. We extend the scope of the conventional Floquet engineering and rely of the so-called formalism to deal with driving fields described with two distinct time scales, namely the envelope amplitude timescale and the time period of the external field. The interplay between the finite-pulse timescales and the intrinsic properties of the electrons gives rise to transient valley polarization and dynamical modifications of band structures, revealed by the time-dependent circular dichroism of the sample.
