Study of momentum-resolved exciton dynamics in Monolayer Tungsten Disulfide
ORAL
Abstract
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit unique characteristics among semiconductors. Desirable features such as direct bandgaps at K-points and highly efficient light-matter coupling have led to many potential applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and quantum devices. Recently, time and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES) techniques have succeeded in accessing the momentum-resolved dynamics of excitons in monolayer TMDC materials, such as WSe2 [1], and WS2 [2]. Here, we further probe the exciton dynamics in CVD grown monolayer WS2 samples using TR-ARPES by applying a variety of pump photoexcitation conditions, such as intensity and pump wavelength. Our results provide valuable insight into the ultrafast dynamics between free carriers, bright excitons and dark excitons.
