Strong Exciton-Coherent Phonon Coupling in Single-Layer MoS2
Broadband transient absorption with sub-20fs temporal resolution, supported by ab-initio calculations, quantitatively provides the strength of exciton-coherent phonon coupling in 1L-MoS2, showing a resonant profile around the C exciton.
Strongly Coupled Coherent Phonons in Single-Layer MoS 2
We present a transient absorption setup combining broadband detection over the visible-UV range with high temporal resolution ($\sim$20fs) which is ideally suited to trigger and detect vibrational coherences in different classes of materials. We generate and detect coherent phonons (CPs) in single layer (1L) MoS$_2$, as a representative semiconducting 1L-transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), where the confined dynamical interaction between excitons and phonons is unexplored. The coherent oscillatory motion of the out-of-plane $A'_{1}$ phonons, triggered by the ultrashort laser pulses, dynamically modulates the excitonic resonances on a timescale of few tens fs. We observe an enhancement by…
