Tungsten disulfide (WS2) belongs to the class of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), whose low-dimensional properties include strong photoluminescence [1], tunable bandgap [2] and etc. These properties provide various optoelectronic applications for this material [3],[4]. Here we study quantum confined WS2 nanotubes (WS2NT) on the subject of ultrafast processes emerging there. Their experimental research includes the creation of non-equilibrium state by means of photoexcitation in the experiments of optical pump - terahertz probe (OPTP) and transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) in visible and near-infrared ranges. The obtained spectra combined with steady-state broadband absorbance spectrum (UV-Vis-NIR AS, FTIR, THz-TDS) and Raman spectrum reveal the presence of defects, trions, excitons, exciton polaritons and their evolution on picosecond timescale. Time constants of these processes are determined. Also, the photoconductivity in THz range is investigated and compared to the equilibrium THz conductivity. This research presents interest both in fundamental science, since it sheds more light on the processes in quasi-1D TMDs, and in practical applications of ultrafast optoelectronics.
