We report on the exciton and trion density dynamics in a single layer of MoSe$_2$, resonantly excited and probed using three-pulse four-wave mixing (FWM), at temperatures from 300K to 77K . A multi-exponential third-order response function for amplitude and phase of the heterodyne-detected FWM signal including four decay processes is used to model the data. We provide a consistent interpretation within the intrinsic band structure, not requiring the inclusion of extrinsic effects. We find an exciton radiative lifetime in the sub-picosecond range consistent to what has been recently reported. After the dominating radiative decay, the remaining exciton density, which has been scattered from the initially excited bright radiative state into dark states of different nature by exciton-phonon scattering or disorder scattering, shows a slower dynamics, covering 10ps to 10ns timescales. This includes direct bright transitions with larger in-plane momentum, as well as indirect dark transitions to indirect dark states. We find that exciton-exciton annihilation is not relevant in the observed dynamics, in variance from previous finding under non-resonant excitation. The trion density at 77K reveals a decay of the order of 1ps, similar to what is observed for the exciton. After few tens of picoseconds, the trion dynamics resembles the one of the exciton, indicating that trion ionization occurs on this timescale.

We experimentally study the radii of excitons in hBN-encapsulated WS2 monolayers by means of magneto-optical reflectance spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures in magnetic fields up to 29 T. We observe field-induced energy shifts of the exciton groun d and excited states due to valley Zeeman and diamagnetic effects. We find the g factor of the first excited state of $-4.2(+/-0.1) to be essentially equal to that of the ground state of -4.35(+/-0.1). From diamagnetic shifts we determine the root mean square radii of the excitons. The radius of the first excited state is found to be 5-8 nm and that of the ground state around 2 nm. Our results further confirm the Wannier-Mott nature of the exciton quasiparticles in monolayer semiconductors and the assignment of the optical resonances in absorption-type measurements. They also provide additional support for the applicability of the effective mass hydrogenlike models in these systems.
Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers are highly interesting for potential valleytronic applications due to the coupling of spin and valley degrees of freedom and valley-selective excitonic transitions. However, ultrafast recombination of excito ns in these materials poses a natural limit for applications, so that a transfer of polarization to resident carriers is highly advantageous. Here, we study the low-temperature spin-valley dynamics in nominally undoped and n-doped MoSe$_2$ monolayers using time-resolved Kerr rotation. In the n-doped MoSe$_2$, we find a long-lived component of the Kerr signal which we attribute to the spin polarization of resident carriers. This component is absent in the nominally undoped MoSe$_2$. The long-lived spin polarization is stable under applied in-plane magnetic fields. Spatially resolved measurements allow us to determine an upper boundary for the electron spin diffusion constant in MoSe$_2$.
The valley pseudospin in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) has been proposed as a new way to manipulate information in various optoelectronic devices. This relies on a large valley polarization that remains stable over long timescales (hundreds of ns). However, time resolved measurements report valley lifetimes of only a few ps. This has been attributed to mechanisms such as phonon-mediated inter-valley scattering and a precession of the valley psedospin through electron-hole exchange. Here we use transient spin grating to directly measure the valley depolarization lifetime in monolayer MoSe$_{2}$. We find a fast valley decay rate that scales linearly with the excitation density at different temperatures. This establishes the presence of strong exciton-exciton Coulomb exchange interactions enhancing the valley depolarization. Our work highlights the microscopic processes inhibiting the efficient use of the exciton valley pseudospin in monolayer TMDs.
Identifying quantum numbers to label elementary excitations is essential for the correct description of light-matter interaction in solids. In monolayer semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as MoSe$_2$ or WSe$_2$, most optoelec tronic phenomena are described well by labelling electron and hole states with the spin projection along the normal to the layer (S$_z$). In contrast, for WSe$_2$/MoSe$_2$ interfaces recent experiments show that taking S$_z$ as quantum number is not a good approximation, and spin mixing needs to be always considered. Here we argue that the correct quantum number for these systems is not S$_z$, but the $z$-component of the total angular momentum -- J$_z$ = L$_z$ + S$_z$ -- associated to the C$_3$ rotational lattice symmetry, which assumes half-integer values corresponding modulo 3 to distinct states. We validate this conclusion experimentally through the observation of strong intervalley scattering mediated by chiral optical phonons that -- despite carrying angular momentum 1 -- cause resonant intervalley transitions of excitons, with an angular momentum difference of 2.

Wavelength-dependent pump-probe spectroscopy of micelle-suspended single-walled carbon nanotubes reveals two-component dynamics. The slow component (5-20 ps), which has not been observed previously, is resonantly enhanced whenever the pump photon ene rgy coincides with an absorption peak and we attribute it to interband carrier recombination, whereas we interpret the always-present fast component (0.3-1.2 ps) as intraband carrier relaxation in non-resonantly excited nanotubes. The slow component decreases drastically with decreasing pH (or increasing H$^+$ doping), especially in large-diameter tubes. This can be explained as a consequence of the disappearance of absorption peaks at high doping due to the entrance of the Fermi energy into the valence band, i.e., a 1-D manifestation of the Burstein-Moss effect.
