Can the US President be tried by the courts after he has been impeached by the House of Representatives and convicted by the Senate?
Yes, he can if he has been impeached and convicted for committing a criminal act. The Constitution in Article 1, Section 3 states that the judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold any other office of honor trust or profit under the United States. It then provides that the party convicted of the impeachable acts shall be liable and subject to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment according to law. This means that even if the Senate convicts a President of treason, the only effect is removal from office. The actual criminal trial would have to take place in the criminal courts. Ironically, it is possible for a President to be convicted and removed by the Senate for a crime and then the same president found innocent in the criminal court on the same charges.

What branch of government is responsible for the executive branch after impeachment?
If you mean after the impeachment of the President, the answer is "The Executive" branch. The are two stages of "impeachment". The first is "impeachment", whereby the House of Representatives, by 2/3 majority, calls on the president to be tried before the Senate. The senate then tries the president. The President heads the executive branch. If he is impeached, and convicted by the Senate, he is immediately removed from office and the Vice President assumes presidential powers. If the President is impeached, but not convicted, he is not removed from office and continues as President.

In the history of the US no president has ever been impeached and convicted?
That statement is incorrect. While three U.S. presidents—Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump—have been impeached by the House of Representatives, none were convicted by the Senate. Impeachment is a political process, not a criminal one, and requires a two-thirds majority in the Senate for conviction, which has never been achieved for a president. Thus, no president has ever been removed from office through impeachment.

I think you're discussing Presidential impeachment, answer is both houses of Congress. House of Representatives actually 'impeaches' the President (essentially charging him or her) and the Senate holds the trial and if convicted, the President is removed from office. The Vice President can also be impeached as well as officers of the United States. Technically, the term impeachment is mis-used, but it has been mis-used so often, it essentially refers to the involuntary removal of the president.
