Photoexcitation of materials with complex ground states can drive them into new out-of-equilibrium phases. In this talk, I will present the characteristics of these phases and the recovery dynamics in a complex system, the charge density wave (CDW)-Mott insulator 1T-TaS2, studied using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We observe strong similarities between the band structures of the transient phase and the structurally undistorted equilibrium phase, with evidence for the coexistence of insulating and metallic phases. Following the transient phase, we find that the restorations of Mott and CDW orders begin around the same time, highlighting that the Mott transition is tied to the CDW distortion. During recovery, a metastable phase, driven by the CDW lattice order, emerges but only in the strong photoexcitation regime and is a commensurate CDW-Mott insulating phase but with a smaller CDW amplitude. Finally, I will briefly discuss our future work, where we aim to study how the nature of the metastable phase and electron correlations in photoexcited 1T-TaS2 can be tuned by an external parameter, e.g. pump fluence.
