With our colleagues from CY Cergy Paris Université, Université Paris-Saclay, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of West Bohemia, we have successfully manipulated the electron's spin in a two-dimensional solid using circularly polarized light and measured its ultrafast relaxation dynamics on femtosecond timescale using spin-, time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
