Interlayer excitons (IXs) in transition metal dichalcogenides are promising for applications in opto-electronics and quantum technologies. They have strongly tunable energy through external electric fields and can be confined to specific moiré sites, which are adjustable through twist angles. IX emission exhibits a strong blueshift with optical pumping densities which has been correlated to exciton-exciton interaction [1]. By directly imaging the IX with time-resolved angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (trARPES), we can attribute a IX blueshift to a change in the band alignment created from the charge transfer associated with IX. This study complements optical studies and informs our understanding of IX-IX interactions.
