abstract = {Topological phases of matter offer exciting possibilities
to realize lossless charge and spin information transport on
ultrafast time scales. However, this requires detailed
knowledge of their nonequilibrium properties. Here, we
employ time-, spin- and angle-resolved photoemission to
investigate the ultrafast response of the Sb(111)
spin-polarized surface state to femtosecond-laser
excitation. The surface state exhibits a giant mass
enhancement which is observed as a kink structure in its
energy-momentum dispersion above the Fermi level. The kink
structure, originating from the direct coupling of the
surface state to the bulk continuum, is characterized by an
abrupt change in the group velocity by $~70\%,$ in agreement
with our GW-based band structure calculations. Our
observation of this connectivity in the transiently occupied
band structure enables the unambiguous experimental
verification of the topological nature of the surface state.
The influence of bulk-surface coupling is further confirmed
by our measurements of the electron dynamics, which show
that bulk and surface states behave as a single thermalizing
electronic population with distinct contributions from low-k
electron-electron and high-k electron-phonon scatterings.
These findings are important for future applications of
topological semimetals and their excitations in ultrafast
spintronics.},
