The current understanding of the optical properties and excited carrier dynamics in single-layer and few-layer transition metal dichalcogenides relies largely on a series of photoluminescence and differential absorption measurements. Since excitons dominate the optical response, the dynamics of free carriers cannot be studied directly. Here, we use time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to directly measure free carriers in epitaxial single layer MoS₂ grown on either Au(111) or on graphene. For MoS₂/Au(111) we determine an ultrafast (50 fs) extraction of excited free carriers via the metal and ascertain a direct quasiparticle band gap of 1.95 eV. The observed quasiparticle gap is significantly smaller than the theoretically estimated value for free-standing MoS₂. This can be explained by a strong renormalisation of the band gap. For MoS₂ on graphene, we find indications of induced band shifts that lead to a time-dependence of the electronic structure.
