Role of matrix elements in the time-resolved photoemission signal
2018
Time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy accesses the ultrafast evolution of quasiparticles and many-body interactions in solid-state systems. However, the momentum- and energy-resolved transient photoemission intensity may not be unambiguously related to the intrinsic relaxation dynamics of photoexcited electrons. In fact, interpretation of the time-dependent photoemission signal can be affected by the transient evolution of both the one-electron removal spectral function as well as the photoemission dipole matrix elements. Here we investigate the topological insulator Bi$_{1.1}$Sb$_{0.9}$Te$_2$S to demonstrate, by means of a careful probe-polarization study, the transient contribution of matrix elements to the time-resolved photoemission signal.
