Tailoring the electronic properties and carrier dynamics of 2D-Van-der-Waals materials is a highly promising way to design spin functionalities in low dimensions. This is often achieved by the formation of heterostructures with other Van-der-Waals materials.
Here, we functionalize the carrier dynamics of the prototypical Van-der-Waals material WSe2 by the adsorption of the aromatic molecule CuPc. Using time- and angle-resolved photoemission with XUV-radiation, we investigate the temporal evolution of the excited states at the K- and Σ-points of WSe2 after an optical excitation. For the bare WSe2, we find a spin selective excitation at the K-point depending on the pump light polarization [1], which is followed by a spin-flip scattering from the K- to the Σ-point. After the adsorption of CuPc, the excitation scheme is completely altered. In particular, we uncovered a direct interlayer excitation from the CuPc into the WSe2 layer that dominates the carrier dynamics of the CuPc/WSe2 heterostructure.
