Our work is concerned with the polarization of electrons and orbital texture in non-magnetic materials. We studied stationary and dynamic electron states by photoemission and spin-polarized relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker calculations on three bulk transition metal dichalcogenide samples. On bulk WTe2, a Weyl type-II semimetal candidate, we performed spin-, time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy experiments at different pump-probe time delays to reveal the mechanism behind the relaxation process of spin-polarized electrons above the Fermi level in the supposed Weyl points region. On bulk 2H-WSe2, using different crystal orientations that are mathematically equivalent to time-reversal operation, we introduce a new observable called "time-reversal dichroism" which contains information about the hidden orbital texture of the electronic states. For 1T-HfTe2 as a model system with both inversion and time-reversal symmetries in the bulk, we performed an analysis of the spin-polarized photocurrent.
