Multiple excitonic resonances in reflectance spectra are observed and identified by solving numerically three-dimensional Schr\\\"odinger equation. The pump-probe reflectivity signal is shown to be dominated by the photoinduced nonradiative broadening of the excitonic resonances, while pump-induced exciton energy shift and reduction of the oscillator strength appear to be negligible. This broadening is induced by the reservoir of dark excitons with large in-plane wave vector, which are coupled to the the bright excitons states. The dynamics of the pump-induced nonradiative broadening observed experimentally is characterised by three components: signal build up on the scale of tens of picoseconds (i) and bi-exponential decay on the scale of one nanosecond (ii) and ten nanosecons (iii). Possible mechanisms of the reservoir population and depletion responsible for this behaviour are discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-04-14T13:58:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "exciton dynamics", "large in-plane wave vector", "pump-induced exciton energy shift", "oscillator strength appear", "exciton energy structure" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
