4.Title: Controlling the electronic structure of two-dimensional semiconductors in the real space and ultrafast time domains
Two-dimensional
(2D) semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit a diverse
collection of intriguing electronic phenomena. These include single-particle
effects related to new spin and valley physics, as well as exotic many-body
interactions. The latter
are exemplified by the presence of tunable band gaps and tightly bound excitons
and trions. Here, I will discuss our recent efforts to synthesize single-layer
TMDs such as MoS2 and WS2 using a variety of methods ranging from van der Waals
epitaxy [1] to manual exfoliation, transfer and assembly of TMD-based
heterostructures with other 2D materials [2,3]. Characterization of the
electronic properties of such materials is carried out using a combination of
angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) experiments that incorporate either
ultrafast time-resolution (TR-ARPES) or micro- to nano-scale spatial resolution
(microARPES/nanoARPES). I will show how ultrafast band gap tuning and control
of the spin- and valley-degrees of freedom in TMDs can be achieved and observed
in pump-probe experiments [4]. Finally, I will address how the substrate
material influences the band structure and many-body interactions in 2D
heterostructures based on spatially-resolved photoemission experiments [2,3].
