Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides offer the possibility of optical control of the valley degree of freedom. In order to asses the potential of these materials in applications, detailed knowledge of the valley dynamics is essential. In this work, we apply low temperature time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measurements to investigate exciton valley relaxation dynamics and, in particular, its behavior under strong excitation. At the lowest excitation powers the inter valley scattering time is $simeq 50$ ps, but shortens by more than a factor of two at the highest powers. We attribute this acceleration to either heating of the exciton system or the presence of a dense exciton gas, which could influence the exciton valley properties. Furthermore, we analyze the PL dynamics of excitons and trions. We find that the PL decays for all peaks are bi-exponential and approximately independent of the excitation power. We attribute the short decay to radiative recombination and escape to a reservoir of dark states. The long decay is ascribed to a transfer of excitons back from the reservoir. For the first time, we evaluate the exciton PL decay time of $simeq$ 10 ps. The latter process is valley-conserving and occurs on a timescale of $simeq$ 50 ps.
Excitons and trions (or exciton-polarons) in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are known to decay predominantly through intravalley transitions. Electron-hole recombination across different valleys can also play a significant role in the excito
The large surface-to-volume ratio in atomically thin 2D materials allows to efficiently tune their properties through modifications of their environment. Artificial stacking of two monolayers into a bilayer leads to an overlap of layer-localized wave
We report the direct observation of intervalley exciton between the Q conduction valley and $Gamma$ valence valley in bilayer WSe$_2$ by photoluminescence. The Q$Gamma$ exciton lies at ~18 meV below the QK exciton and dominates the luminescence of bi
Charged excitons, or X$^{pm}$-trions, in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides have binding energies of several tens of meV. Together with the neutral exciton X$^0$ they dominate the emission spectrum at low and elevated temperatures. We use cha
We study the impact of a free carrier reservoir on the optical properties of excitonic and trionic complexes in a MoSe$_2$ monolayer at cryogenic temperatures. By applying photodoping via a non-resonant pump laser the electron density can be controll
