Ultrafast phonons dynamics of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides — •yiming pan and fabio caruso — Kiel University, Germany

Valley degrees of freedom in transition-metal dichalcogenides influence thoroughly electron-phonon coupling and its nonequilibrium dynamics. Here we present a time-resolved ab-initio study of the ultrafast dynamics of chiral phonons following carrier excitation with circularly-polarized light. By investigating the valley depolarization dynamics of monolayer MoS₂ and WS₂, we find that a population imbalance of carriers distributed at K and K^′ can lead to valley polarized phonons persisting beyond 10 ps, and characterized by a distinctive chirality [1]. Additionally, we find that strain can be exploited as a tool to control the phonon emission and the relaxation channels of hot carriers [2]. Finally, we briefly discuss available opportunities for experimental detection of these phenomena
