We employ a set of complementary techniques: i) time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (trARPES) based on a 0.5 MHz laser [1] generating XUV pulses provides access to the spectral function and the dynamics of excited states throughout the Brillouin zone; ii) femtosecond electron diffraction (FED) [2] and optical spectroscopy are used to study phonon dynamics [3] and phase transitions [4]; and iii) electron point-projection microscopy allows for imaging of ultrafast carrier transport in nanostructures [5].
In particular, I will
discuss electron and phonon dynamics in the semiconducting transition
metal dichalcogenide WSe2. We demonstrate mapping of the conduction band and the generation of spin- and pseudospin-polarized excited states in
this centrosymmetric material [6]. A momentum-resolved view of the
phonon dynamics is obtained from by FED.
