The prospective of optically inducing a spin polarized current for
spintronic devices has generated a vast interest in the
out-of-equilibrium electronic and spin structure of topological
insulators (TIs). In this presentation we prove that only by measuring the
spin intensity signal over several order of magnitude in spin, time
and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (STAR-PES) experiments
is it possible to comprehensively describe the optically excited
electronic states in TIs materials. The experiments performed on
Bi2Se3 reveal the existence of a Surface-Resonance-State in the 2nd
bulk band gap interpreted on the basis of fully relativistic ab-initio
spin resolved photoemission calculations. Remarkably, the spin
dependent relaxation of the hot carriers is well reproduced by a spin
dynamics model considering two non-interacting electronic systems,
derived from the excited surface and bulk states, with different
electronic temperatures.
