Room temperature dynamical control and electroluminescence from microcavity polaritons in monolayer transitional metal dichalcogenides

ORAL

Abstract

We demonstrate modulation of exciton-photon interaction in strong coupling regime showing polariton branches at room temperature in monolayer WS2 field effect transistor embedded inside a microcavity. Transitions from strong to weak coupling happens when WS2 becomes electron doped under gating due to reduction in oscillator strength of the excitons arising from decreased Coulomb interaction. For polariton electroluminescence from a monolayer WS2 at room temperature we incorporate a tunnel field effect transistor with graphene-hBN-WS2-hBN-graphene van der Waal heterostructure inside the microcavity. Injected electrons and holes tunnel through hBN barrier and recombine in the WS2 resulting in luminescence and shows clear polariton branches. Our findings with these new class of materials pave a novel way to realize low energy optoelectronic switches and possibly room temperature based polariton lasers through electrically controlled polariton luminescence.
