Bidirectional phonon emission in two-dimensional heterostructures triggered by ultrafast charge transfer
2023
Overview
Photoinduced charge transfer in van der Waals heterostructures occurs on the 100 fs timescale despite weak interlayer coupling and momentum mismatch. However, little is understood about the microscopic mechanism behind this ultrafast process and the role of the lattice in mediating it. Here, using femtosecond electron diffraction, we directly visualize lattice dynamics in photoexcited heterostructures of WSe

on a picosecond timescale—an observation that is not explained by phonon transport across the interface. Using first-principles calculations, we identify a fast channel involving an electronic state hybridized across the heterostructure, enabling phonon-assisted interlayer transfer of photoexcited electrons. Phonons are emitted in both layers on the femtosecond timescale via this channel, consistent with the simultaneous lattice heating observed experimentally. Taken together, our work indicates strong electron–phonon coupling via layer-hybridized electronic states—a novel route to control energy transport across atomic junctions.
Femtosecond electron diffraction and ab initio theory unravel ultrafast lattice dynamics in photoexcited two-dimensional heterostructures during charge transfer.
