Coupling between exciton states across the Brillouin zone in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides can lead to ultrafast valley depolarization. Using time- and angle-resolved photoemission, we present momentum- energy-resolved measurements of coupling WS$_2$. By comparing full 4D ($k_x, k_y, E, t$) data sets after both linearly circularly polarized excitation, are able disentangle intervalley intravalley dynamics. Recording binding energy basis instead excitation energy, observe strong...

Moir\'e heterobilayers exhibiting spatially varying band alignment and electron hole localization that can be precisely controlled through the twist angle have emerged as exciting platforms for studying complex quantum phenomena. While most of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) a type II alignment, introduction I could enable stronger light-matter coupling enhanced radiative emission. Here, we show combination first-principles GW plus Bethe Salpeter equation (GW-BSE) calculations time-...

The unique optical properties of graphene, with broadband absorption and ultrafast response, make it a critical component optoelectronic spintronic devices. Using time-resolved momentum microscopy high data rate dynamic range, we report momentum-space measurements electrons promoted to the graphene conduction band visible light, their subsequent relaxation. We observe pronounced non-thermal distribution nascent photoexcited lattice pseudospin polarization in remarkable agreement results...

Nanotechnology has been widely used in biomedical research the form of plasmonic gold and silver nanoparticles interacting with visible infrared radiation for biosensing, antimicrobial treatment, cancer therapy. Recently, aluminum were introduced as a cheaper alternative spectral range extending into ultraviolet region. This provides additional physical mechanisms, which may be to improve controllability effectiveness treatment. However, enhancement is smaller than that gold, limit...

The optical and electronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials make them attractive for a variety applications in quantum information processing, solar-energy harvesting, catalysis. However, the dynamics electrons, holes, excitons formed after photo-excitation are often complex involve many states that optically dark, making their characterization with spectroscopy alone difficult. We present our recent work imaging 2D heterostructures momentum space using time- angle-resolved...

Two-dimensional (2D) materials and heterostructures have recently gained wide attention due to potential applications in optoelectronic devices. However, the optical properties of heterojunction not been properly characterized limited spatial resolution, requiring nano-optical characterization beyond diffraction limit. Here, we investigate lateral monolayer MoS2-WS2 heterostructure using tip-enhanced photoluminescence (TEPL) spectroscopy on a non-metallic substrate with picoscale tip-sample...
