ACS Nano, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 19, 2025

Interlayer excitons (IXs) in layered van der Waals materials are promising for quantum technologies and fundamental studies such as exciton-polariton condensation due to their large permanent dipole moments. However, indirect bandgap optical transition through the Q-K channel renders them momentum forbidden thus less relevant applications. Here, we demonstrate a method brightening transitions from IX emitters (QEs) 2H-stacked bilayer WSe2 by simultaneously employing local strain plasmonic nanocavity coupling. Initially, long T1 lifetimes up 140 ns indicative of transitions. Magneto-photoluminescence data show striking bimodal distribution g-factors between mono- QEs, with well-defined value g = 9.5 IX, highlighting nature decoupling variations. In addition, angle-resolved PL measurements reveal that curvature on nanostressor induces orientation tilt affecting cavity By embedding these strained QEs into cavities, achieve 10-fold increase emission intensity 24-fold enhancement lifetime best case (12-fold average), leading bright single-photon rates 1.45 ± 0.1 MHz first lens. Moreover, demonstrated allowed push wavelength reliably around 810 nm enables free-space communication.

In this Perspective, we introduce a first-principles method that combines time-dependent density functional theory with non-adiabatic molecular dynamics (NAMD) to explore exciton in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. The theoretical foundation and computational efficiency of the are discussed compared those related methods (e.g., GW-BSE). Using three 2D vdW heterostructures as examples, demonstrate proposed can provide reliable description many-body electron–hole interactions crucial dynamics. With much lower costs than GW-BSE method, represents particularly promising tool probe solids. Moreover, find NAMD simulations widely used literature cannot capture excitonic effect materials often yield incorrect results because they formulated single-particle picture. instances where picture fails pointed out contrasted simulation results.

Science Advances, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 9(29)

Published: July 21, 2023

Heterostructures are not expected to form in a single homogeneous material. Here, we show that planar pseudo-heterostructures could emerge twisted bilayer of phosphorene (tbP), driving in-plane energy and charge transfer. The formation moiré superlattices combined with electronic anisotropy tbPs yields one-dimensional (1D) excitons long radiative nonradiative lifetimes, large binding energies, deep potentials. Low-frequency phonons dynamic potentials revealed be responsible for the energy/charge transfer exciton dynamics. 1D predicted exhibit Bose-Einstein condensation at high temperatures may lead exotic Tonks-Girardeau Bose gases.

Correlation-driven nonequilibrium exciton site transition in a WSe2/WS2 moiré supercell

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: April 17, 2024

Abstract Moiré superlattices of transition metal dichalcogenides offer a unique platform to explore correlated exciton physics with optical spectroscopy. Whereas the spatially modulated potentials evoke that resonances are distinct depending on site in moiré supercell, there have been no clear demonstration how excitons trapped different sites dynamically interact doped carriers; so far exciton-electron dynamic interactions were presumed be site-dependent. Thus, transient emergence nonequilibrium correlations open questions, but existing studies limited steady-state measurements. Here we report experimental fingerprints site-dependent under continuous-wave as well ultrashort excitations. In near-zero angle-aligned WSe 2 /WS heterobilayers, observe intriguing polarization switching and strongly enhanced Pauli blocking near Mott insulating state, dictating dominant correlation-driven effects. When twist angle is 60°, such observed, suggesting strong dependence atomic registry supercell configuration. Our door largely unexplored superlattices.

Understanding ultrafast electronic dynamics of the interlayer excitonic states in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides is importance engineering valleytronics and developing integrated circuits. In this work, we experimentally explored indirect monolayer type II WSe2/ReS2 heterojunctions using time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy, which reveals its anisotropic behavior. The cooling decay excited-state electrons exhibit significant linear dichroism. ab initio theoretical calculations provide unambiguous evidence that dichroism result primarily associated with nonradiative recombination states. Measuring energy spectra, have further revealed evolution findings important implications for controlling moiré effects designing optoelectronic devices.
