Abstract

We discuss the application of time-resolved ultrafast angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy to the study of photoexcited topological insulators. Measurements performed on the prototype material Bi2Te3 clearly show that all the main processes involved in the ultrafast surface carrier dynamics of topological insulators can be clearly observed and quantitatively analyzed. The comparison with other experimental results shows that the relative position of surface and bulk conduction bands with respect to the system Fermi level play an essential role in the recombination processes following ultrafast optical excitation.
