The increasing role of two-dimensional (2D) devices requires the development of new techniques for ultrafast control. A special feature of heterobilayers (HBs) assembled from van der Waals (vdW) monolayers is the femtosecond separation of photoexcited electrons and holes between the neighboring layers, resulting in the formation of Coulomb forces. Using laser pulses, we generate a 0.8THz coherent breathing mode in MoSe2/WSe2 HBs, which modulates the thickness of the HB and should modulate the photogenerated electric field in the vdW gap. While the phonon frequency and decay time are independent of the stacking angle between monolayers, the amplitude decreases at intermediate angles, which is explained by a decrease in the photogenerated electric field between the layers.
