neaSCOPE + fs measured pump-induced changes of the local THz response ∆E THz along a surface of WSe 2 / WS 2 heterobilayer , providing precise maps of exciton binding strength & lifetime ( left ). Areas of prolonged lifetime indicate an advantageous local atomic registry ( e . g . stress , twist angle , etc .). In addition , interlayer tunneling of pumpgenerated excitons creates an out-of-plane current that |
neaSCOPE + fs can directly probe femtosecond exciton dynamics at the nanoscale |

acts as a source of a coherent THz emission . neaSCOPE + fs was able to measure this emission on a subcycle time scale , providing direct access to femtosecond charge transfer dynamics ( incl . tunneling current and time ( top ) constant . This demonstrates ultrafast in-situ investigation of Mott phase transitions , energy harvesting and light emission in atomically thin heterostructures at the nanoscale targeting the development of advanced functional nanomaterials . |
