Single layers of MoS2 and MoSe2 were optically pumped with circularly polarized light and an appreciable polarization was initialized as the pump energy was varied. The circular polarization of the emitted photoluminescence was monitored as function of the difference between the excitation energy and the A-exciton emission at the K-point of the Brillouin zone. Our results show a threshold of twice the LA phonon energy, specific to the material, above which phonon-assisted intervalley scattering causes depolarization. In both materials this lead to almost complete depolarization within ~100 meV above the threshold energy. We identify the extra kinetic energy of the exciton (independent of whether it is neutral or charged) as the key parameter for presenting a unifying picture of the depolarization process.

Excitons with binding energies of a few hundreds of meV control the optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers. Knowledge of the fine structure of these excitons is therefore essential to understand the optoelectronic properties
of these 2D materials. Here we measure the exciton fine structure of MoS2 and MoSe2 monolayers encapsulated in boron nitride by magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy in magnetic fields up to 30 T. The experiments performed in transverse magnetic field reveal a brightening of the spin-forbidden dark excitons in MoS2 monolayer: we find that the dark excitons appear at 14 meV below the bright ones. Measurements performed in tilted magnetic field provide a conceivable description of the neutral exciton fine structure. The experimental results are in agreement with a model taking into account the effect of the exchange interaction on both the bright and dark exciton states as well as the interaction with the magnetic field.
Modern electronic devices heavily rely on the accurate control of charge and spin of electrons. The emergence of controllable valley degree of freedom brings new possibilities and presents a promising prospect towards valleytronics. Recently, valley
excitation selected by chiral optical pumping has been observed in monolayer MoS2. In this work, we report polarized photoluminescence (PL) measurements for monolayer MoSe2, another member of the family of transition-metal-dichalcogenides (MX2), and observe drastic difference from the outcomes of MoS2. In particular, we identify a valley polarization (VP) up to 70% for B exciton, while that for A exciton is less than 3%. Besides, we also find a small but finite negative VP for A- trion. These results reveal several new intra- and inter-valley scattering processes which significantly affect valley polarization, hence provide new insights into exciton physics in monolayer MX2 and possible valleytronic applications.
We have decoupled the intrinsic optical and electrostatic effects arising in monolayer and few-layer molybdenum disulphide from those influenced by the flake-substrate interaction.
Collective charge excitations in solids have been the subject of intense research ever since the pioneering works of Bohm and Pines in the 1950s. Most of these studies focused on long-wavelength plasmons that involve charge excitations with a small c
rystal-momentum transfer, $q ll G$, where $G$ is the wavenumber of a reciprocal lattice vector. Less emphasis was given to collective charge excitations that lead to shortwave plasmons in multivalley electronic systems (i.e., when $q sim G$). We present a theory of intervalley plasmons, taking into account local-field effects in the dynamical dielectric function. Focusing on monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides where each of the valleys is further spin-split, we derive the energy dispersion of these plasmons and their interaction with external charges. Emphasis in this work is given to sum rules from which we derive the interaction between intervalley plasmons and a test charge, as well as a compact single-plasmon pole expression for the dynamical Coulomb potential.
The ability to perform efficient electrical spin injection from ferromagnetic metals into two-dimensional semiconductor crystals based on transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers is a prerequisite for spintronic and valleytronic devices using these
materials. Here, the hcp Co(0001)/MoS2 interface electronic structure is investigated by first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. In the lowest energy configuration of the hybrid system after optimization of the atomic coordinates, we show that interface sulfur atoms are covalently bound to one, two or three cobalt atoms. A decrease of the Co atom spin magnetic moment is observed at the interface, together with a small magnetization of S atoms. Mo atoms also hold small magnetic moments which can take positive as well as negative values. The charge transfers due to covalent bonding between S and Co atoms at the interface have been calculated for majority and minority spin electrons and the connections between these interface charge transfers and the induced magnetic properties of the MoS2 layer are discussed. Band structure and density of states of the hybrid system are calculated for minority and majority spin electrons, taking into account spin-orbit coupling. We demonstrate that MoS2 bound to the Co contact becomes metallic due to hybridization between Co d and S p orbitals. For this metallic phase of MoS2, a spin polarization at the Fermi level of 16 % in absolute value is calculated, that could allow spin injection into the semiconducting MoS2 monolayer channel. Finally, the symmetry of the majority and minority spin electron wave functions at the Fermi level in the Co-bound metallic phase of MoS2 and the orientation of the border between the metallic and semiconducting phases of MoS2 are investigated, and their impact on spin injection into the MoS2 channel is discussed.
