▎ 摘  要

Many recent experiments investigated potential and attractive means of modifying many-body interactions in two-dimensional materials through time-resolved spectroscopy techniques. However, the role of ultrafast phonon-assisted processes in two-dimensional systems is rarely discussed in depth. Here, we investigate the role of electron-phonon interaction in the transient optical absorption of graphene by means of first-principles methods. It is shown at equilibrium that the phonon-assisted transitions renormalize significantly the electronic structure. As a result, absorption peak around the Van-Hove singularity broadens and redshifts by similar to 100 meV. In addition, temperature increase and chemical doping are shown to notably enhance these phonon-assisted features. In the photoinduced transient response, we obtain spectral changes in close agreement with the experiments, and we associate them to the strong renormalization of occupied and unoccupied pi bands, which predominantly comes from the coupling with the zone-center E-2g optical phonon. Our estimation of the Coulomb interaction effects shows that the phononassisted processes can have a dominant role even in the subpicosecond regime.
