Abstract

Time-resolved X-ray photoemission has been used to investigate the photo-induced lattice dynamics in a 2H-MoTe2 crystal. Two different effects are present at long and short timescales: in the microsecond range, core level shifts due to the surface photovoltage fields are detected; in the sub-nanosecond range, a shift in the opposite direction is observed, indicating that its origin may be due to a different physical process. With the support of theoretical calculations, it is shown that the latter energy shift can be ascribed to a transient lattice deformation, with a measured lifetime in the order of ∼600 ps.
