We use a van-der-Waals pickup technique to fabricate different heterostructures containing WSe$_2$(WS$_2$) and graphene. The heterostructures were structured by plasma etching, contacted by one-dimensional edge contacts and a topgate was deposited. For graphene/WSe$_2$/SiO$_2$ samples we observe mobilities of $sim$12 000 cm$^2$/Vs. Magnetic field dependent resistance measurements on these samples show a peak in the conductivity at low magnetic field. This dip is attributed to the weak antilocalization (WAL) effect, stemming from spin-orbit coupling. Samples where graphene is encapsulated between WSe$_2$(WS$_2$) and hBN show a much higher mobility of up to $sim$120 000 cm$^2$/Vs. However, in these samples no WAL peak can be observed. We attribute this to a transition from the diffusive to the quasiballistic regime. At low magnetic field a resistance peak appears, which we ascribe to a size effect, due to boundary scattering. Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in fully encapsulated samples show all integer filling factors, due to complete lifting of the spin and valley degeneracy.

The diffusive motion of metal nanoparticles Au and Ag on monolayer and between bilayer heterostructures of transition metal dichalcogenides and graphene are investigated in the framework of density functional theory. We found that the minimum energy barriers for diffusion and the possibility of cluster formation depend strongly on both the type of nanoparticle and the type of monolayers and bilayers. Moreover, the tendency to form clusters of Ag and Au can be tuned by creating various bilayers. Tunability of the diffusion characteristics of adatoms in van der Waals heterostructures holds promise for controllable growth of nanostructures.
The investigation of 2D van der Waals (vdW) materials is a vibrant, fast moving and still growing interdisciplinary area of research. 2D vdW materials are truly 2D crystals with strong covalent in-plane bonds and weak van der Waals interaction betwee n the layers with a variety of different electronic, optical and mechanical properties. A very prominent class of 2D materials are transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and amongst them particularly the semiconducting subclass. Their properties include bandgaps in the near-infrared to the visible range, decent charge carrier mobility together with high (photo-)catalytic and mechanical stability and exotic many body phenomena. These characteristics make the materials highly attractive for both fundamental research as well as innovative device applications. Furthermore, the materials exhibit a strong light matter interaction providing a high sun light absorbance of up to 15% in the monolayer limit, strong scattering cross section in Raman experiments and access to excitonic phenomena in vdW heterostructures. This review focuses on the light matter interaction in MoS2, WS2, MoSe2, and WSe2 that is dictated by the materials complex dielectric functions and on the multiplicity of studying the first order phonon modes by Raman spectroscopy to gain access to several material properties such as doping, strain, defects and temperature. 2D materials provide an interesting platform to stack them into vdW heterostructures without the limitation of lattice mismatch resulting in novel devices for application but also to study exotic many body interaction phenomena such as interlayer excitons. Future perspectives of semiconducting TMDs and their heterostructures for applications in optoelectronic devices will be examined and routes to study emergent fundamental problems and many-body quantum phenomena under excitations with photons will be discussed.
We study direct and indirect magnetoexcitons in Rydberg states in monolayers and heterostructures of transition-metal dichalcogenices (TMDCs) in an external magnetic field, applied perpendicular to the monolayer or heterostructures. We calculate bind ing energies of magnetoexcitons for the Rydberg states 1$s$, 2$s$, 3$s$, and 4$s$ by numerical integration of the Schr{o}dinger equation using the Rytova-Keldysh potential for direct magnetoexcitons and both the Rytova-Keldysh and Coulomb potentials for indirect magnetoexcitons. Latter allows understanding the role of screening in TMDCs heterostructures. We report the magnetic field energy contribution to the binding energies and diamagnetic coefficients (DMCs) for direct and indirect magnetoexcitons. The tunability of the energy contribution of direct and indirect magnetoexcitons by the magnetic field is demonstrated. It is shown that binding energies and DMCs of indirect magnetoexcitons can be manipulated by the number of hBN layers. Therefore, our study raises the possibility of controlling the binding energies of direct and indirect magnetostrictions in TMDC monolayers, bilayers and heterostructures using magnetic field and opens an additional degree of freedom to tailor the binding energies and DMCs for heterostructures by varying the number of hBN sheets between TMDC layers. The calculations of the binding energies and DMCs of indirect magnetoexcitons in TMDC heterostructures are novel and can be compared with the experimental results when they will be available.
We report a systematic study on strong enhancement of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in graphene driven by transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Low temperature magnetotoransport measurements of graphene proximitized to different TMDs (monolayer and bulk WSe$_2$, WS$_2$ and monolayer MoS$_2$) all exhibit weak antilocalization peaks, a signature of strong SOI induced in graphene. The amplitudes of the induced SOI are different for different materials and thickness, and we find that monolayer WSe$_2$ and WS$_2$ can induce much stronger SOI than bulk ones and also monolayer MoS$_2$. The estimated spin-orbit (SO) scattering strength for the former reaches $sim$ 10 meV whereas for the latter it is around 1 meV or less. We also discuss the symmetry and type of the induced SOI in detail, especially focusing on the identification of intrinsic and valley-Zeeman (VZ) SOI via the dominant spin relaxation mechanism. Our findings offer insight on the possible realization of the quantum spin Hall (QSH) state in graphene.
Excitons dominate the optical properties of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Besides optically accessible bright exciton states, TMDs exhibit also a multitude of optically forbidden dark excitons. Here, we show that efficient excito n-phonon scattering couples bright and dark states and gives rise to an asymmetric excitonic line shape. The observed asymmetry can be traced back to phonon-induced sidebands that are accompanied by a polaron redshift. We present a joint theory-experiment study investigating the microscopic origin of these sidebands in different TMD materials taking into account intra- and intervalley scattering channels opened by optical and acoustic phonons. The gained insights contribute to a better understanding of the optical fingerprint of these technologically promising nanomaterials.
