Coherent oscillations in the 4p_x,y valence band of 1T-TiSe₂ — •Jan Böhnke, Mehul Jotshi, Stephan Schmutzler, Cornelius Gahl, and Martin Weinelt — Fachbereich Physik, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany

Upon cooling below T ∼ 200 K, 1T-TiSe₂ undergoes a structural phase transition which is characterized by a charge redistribution and a periodic lattice distortion. By time-resolved ARPES it is possible to investigate the dynamics of both, electronic band structure and phonon response. Upon excitation with a fs laser pulse with 1.55 eV photon energy we observe fluence-dependent coherent oscillations in the Se 4p_x,y valence band of TiSe₂ which have been previously reported in a time-resolved photoemission experiment [1]. In contrast, no signature of coherent oscillations is found in the backfolded Ti 3d conduction band, suggesting that it is not a sensitive probe for the phase transition. Interestingly, we find image-potential states (n = 1, 2, 3) with lifetimes of up to 300 fs, indicating a low defect density of the surface after in-vacuum cleavage.
