The optical properties of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) feature prominent excitonic natures. Here we report an experimental approach toward measuring the exciton binding energy of monolayer WS2 with linear differential transmission spectroscopy and two-photon photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy (TP-PLE). TP-PLE measurements show the exciton binding energy of 0.71eV around K valley in the Brillouin zone. The trion binding energy of 34meV, two-photon absorption cross section 4X10^{4}cm^{2}W^{-2}S^{-1} at 780nm and exciton-exciton annihilation rate around 0.5cm^{2}/s are experimentally obtained.

We report a rare atom-like interaction between excitons in monolayer WS2, measured using ultrafast absorption spectroscopy. At increasing excitation density, the exciton resonance energy exhibits a pronounced redshift followed by an anomalous blueshi ft. Using both material-realistic computation and phenomenological modeling, we attribute this observation to plasma effects and an attraction-repulsion crossover of the exciton-exciton interaction that mimics the Lennard-Jones potential between atoms. Our experiment demonstrates a strong analogy between excitons and atoms with respect to inter-particle interaction, which holds promise to pursue the predicted liquid and crystalline phases of excitons in two-dimensional materials.
Monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides are direct gap semiconductors with great promise for optoelectronic devices. Although spatial correlation of electrons and holes plays a key role, there is little experimental information on such fundamental properties as exciton binding energies and band gaps. We report here an experimental determination of exciton excited states and binding energies for monolayer WS2 and WSe2. We observe peaks in the optical reflectivity/absorption spectra corresponding to the ground- and excited-state excitons (1s and 2s states). From these features, we determine lower bounds free of any model assumptions for the exciton binding energies as E2sA - E1sA of 0.83 eV and 0.79 eV for WS2 and WSe2, respectively, and for the corresponding band gaps Eg >= E2sA of 2.90 and 2.53 eV at 4K. Because the binding energies are large, the true band gap is substantially higher than the dominant spectral feature commonly observed with photoluminescence. This information is critical for emerging applications, and provides new insight into these novel monolayer semiconductors.
Charge doping in transition metal dichalcogenide is currently a subject of high importance for future electronic and optoelectronic applications. Here we demonstrate chemical doping in CVD grown monolayer (1L) of WS2 by a few commonly used laboratory solvents by investigating the room temperature photoluminescence (PL). The appearance of distinct trionic emission in the PL spectra and quenched PL intensities suggest n-type doping in WS2. The temperature-dependent PL spectra of the doped 1L-WS2 reveal significant enhancement of trion emission intensity over the excitonic emission at low temperature indicating the stability of trion at low temperature. The temperature dependent exciton-trion population dynamic has been modeled using the law of mass action of trion formation. These results shed light on the solution-based chemical doping in 1L WS2 and its profound effect on the photoluminescence which is essential for the control of optical and electrical properties for optoelectronics applications.
Moire superlattices in van der Waals heterostructures have emerged as a powerful tool for engineering novel quantum phenomena. Here we report the observation of a correlated interlayer exciton insulator in a double-layer heterostructure composed of a WSe2 monolayer and a WS2/WSe2 moire bilayer that are separated by an ultrathin hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). The moire WS2/WSe2 bilayer features a Mott insulator state at hole density p/p0 = 1, where p0 corresponds to one hole per moire lattice site. When electrons are added to the Mott insulator in the WS2/WSe2 moire bilayer and an equal number of holes are injected into the WSe2 monolayer, a new interlayer exciton insulator emerges with the holes in the WSe2 monolayer and the electrons in the doped Mott insulator bound together through interlayer Coulomb interactions. The excitonic insulator is stable up to a critical hole density of ~ 0.5p0 in the WSe2 monolayer, beyond which the system becomes metallic. Our study highlights the opportunities for realizing novel quantum phases in double-layer moire systems due to the interplay between the moire flat band and strong interlayer electron interactions.
The origin of the variation of photoluminescence (PL) spectra of monolayer tungsten disulfide (WS2) is investigated systematically. Dependence of the PL spectrum on the excitation power show that the relatively sharp component corresponds to excitons whereas the broader component at slightly lower energy corresponds to negatively charged trions. PL imaging and second harmonic generation measurements show that the trion signals are suppressed more than the exciton signals near the edges, thereby relatively enhancing the excitonic feature in the PL spectrum and that such relative enhancement of the exciton signals is more pronounced near approximately armchair edges. This effect is interpreted in terms of depletion of free electrons near the edges caused by structural defects and adsorption of electron acceptors such as oxygen atoms.
