/ Abstract
The significant enhancement of ultrafast terahertz optical conductivity and the unexpected formation of a polaronic‐like state in semiconductor Mn3Si2Te6 at room temperature are reported. With the absorption of pump photons, the low‐frequency terahertz photoconductivity spectrum exhibits a significant rise, quickly forming a broad peak and subsequently shifting to higher energy. The short‐lived nature of the broad peak, as well as the distribution of optical constants, strongly points toward a transient polaron mechanism. This study not only provides profound insights into the remarkable photoelectric response of Mn3Si2Te6 but also highlights its significant potential for future photoelectric applications.
