Bandgap Renormalization, Carrier Multiplication and Stark Broadening in Photoexcited Black Phosphorous

摘要： We investigate black phosphorous by time and angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. The electrons excited by 1.57 eV photons, relax down to conduction band minimum within 1 ps. Despite the low bandgap value, no relevant amount of carrier multiplication could be detected at excitation density 3 ? 6 × 1019 cm?3. In the thermalized state, the bandgap renormalization is negligible up to a photoexcitation density that fills the conduction band by 150 meV. Astonishingly, a Stark broadening of the valence band takes place at an early delay time. We argue that electrons and holes with high excess energy lead to inhomogeneous screening of near surface fields. As a consequence the chemical potential is no longer pinned in a narrow impurity band.
