The electronic structure of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors can be significantly altered by screening effects, either from free charge carriers in the material itself, or by environmental screening from the surrounding medium. The physical properties of 2D semiconductors placed in a heterostructure with other 2D materials are therefore governed by a complex interplay of both intra- and inter-layer interactions. Here, using time- and angle-resolved photoemission, we are able to isolate both the layer-resolved band structure and, more importantly, the transient band structure evolution of a model 2D heterostructure formed of a single layer of MoS$_2$ on graphene. Our results reveal a pronounced renormalization of the quasiparticle gap of the MoS$_2$ layer. Following optical excitation, the band gap is reduced by up to $\sim\!$400 meV on femtosecond timescales due to a persistence of strong electronic interactions despite the environmental screening by the $n$-doped graphene. This points to a large degree of tuneability of both the electronic structure and electron dynamics for 2D semiconductors embedded in a van der Waals-bonded heterostructure.

Ultrafast spectroscopy of propagating coherent acoustic phonons in GaN/InGaN heterostructures
我们发现,大振幅,相干声学声子波包可以产生和检测在$_x$ Ga $_{1-x}$ N/GAN外延层和异质结构在飞秒泵浦探测差分反射率实验。相干声子的振幅随着铟分数$x$的增加而增加,并且与其他相干声子振荡不同,\textit{amplitude}和\textit{period}都是激光探针能量的强函数。当波包到达表面下方的GaN-蓝宝石界面时,振荡的幅度基本上且几乎瞬间减小,这表明声子波包对于表面下方的成像是有用的。提出了一个理论模型,该模型与实验符合得很好,并有助于推导声子波包的强度。我们的模型表明,局域相干声子波包产生的飞秒泵浦激光在外延层的表面附近。然后,波包通过GAN层传播,主要通过Franz-Keldysh效应改变局部折射率,从而调制探测光束的反射率。我们的模型正确地预测了实验依赖于探针波长以及外延层厚度。
