Transient electron recoil effect in electrically tunable MoSe<sub>2</sub> monolayers
ORAL
Abstract
Dynamics of interacting electron-hole mixtures, such as excitons, trions, or Fermi polarons are a topic of intense study in systems with strong Coulomb interactions. In our joint experimental and theoretical study we utilize the electron recoil effect, the radiative recombination under simultaneous excitation of an electron to an unbound state, to access non-equilibrated states with arbitrary center-of-mass momenta. By applying this approach to electrically-tunable MoSe2 monolayers, we directly monitor cooling dynamics of the non-equilibrated exciton populations dressed by free charge carriers. We find strong impact of both lattice temperature and free carrier density on the relaxation timescales that range from 10’s to a few picoseconds. Theoretically, we present a description of the recoil effect in both trion and Fermi-polaron pictures, supporting the experimental analysis.
