Time-resolved soft-x-ray photoemission spectroscopy is used to simultaneously measure the ultrafast dynamics of core-level spectral functions and excited states upon excitation excitons in WSe_{2}. We present a many-body approximation for Green's function, which excellently describes transient core-hole function. The relative excited-state signal core levels clearly show delayed renormalization due screening by quasifree carriers resulting from an excitonic Mott transition. These findings...

Femtosecond light-induced phase transitions between different macroscopic orders provide the possibility to tune functional properties of condensed matter on ultrafast timescales.

We observe the excitation of collective modes in THz range driven by recently discovered N\'{e}el spin-orbit torques (NSOT) metallic antiferromagnet Mn$_{2}$Au. Temperature dependent spectroscopy reveals a strong absorption mode centered near 1 THz, which upon heating from 4 K to 450 softens and looses intensity. Comparison with estimated eigenmode frequencies implies that observed is an in-plane antiferromagnetic resonance (AFMR) mode. The AFMR strength exceeds those found insulators,...
