Electron-electron interaction plays an important role in strongly correlated systems. This may drive the electrons near the Fermi surface to localize resulting in a metal-to-insulator transition. Layered 1T-TaS2, as a model system, presents rich electronic properties, which go through a series of charge-density wave (CDW) phases into a Mott insulating ground state as the temperature decreases.[1] By combining THz pump-probe spectroscopy and low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we can study ultrafast electron dynamics of the Mott phase at the atomic scale. The pump-probe spectra vary strongly on the scale of one unit cell of the CDW. The results shed new light onto the microscopic dynamics of electron motion in the Mott phase.
