Selective Probing of Photoinduced Charge and Spin Dynamics in the Bulk and Surface of a Topological Insulator

Topological insulators possess completely different spin-orbit coupled bulk and surface electronic spectra that are each predicted to exhibit exotic responses to light. Here we report time-resolved fundamental and second harmonic optical pump-probe measurements on the topological insulator Bi2Se3 to...
