Description
Summary:By means of time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, we give evidence of a remarkable reduction of the Fermi velocity of out-of-equilibrium Dirac bands in the quasi-two-dimensional semimetal BaNiS_{2}. This effect is accompanied by a nonrigid shift of the bands at the center of the Brillouin zone. Analytical and first-principles calculations indicate that this band renormalization is ascribed to a change in nonlocal electron correlations driven by a photoinduced enhancement of screening properties. Our results are explained by a scaling relation between inverse screening length and electronic temperature that is of general relevance for the description of out-of-equilibrium dynamics and screening effects in all layered Dirac materials.
