Using wide spectral range in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry with systematic ultra high vacuum annealing and in situ exposure to oxygen, we report the complex dielectric function of MoS$_2$ isolating the environmental effects and revealing the crucial role of unpassivated and passivated sulphur vacancies. The spectral weights of the A ($1.92$ eV) and B ($2.02$ eV) exciton peaks in the dielectric function reduce significantly upon annealing, accompanied by spectral weight transfer in a broad energy range. Interestingly, the original spectral weights are recovered upon controlled oxygen exposure. This tunability of the excitonic effects is likely due to passivation and reemergence of the gap states in the bandstructure during oxygen adsorption and desorption, respectively, as indicated by ab initio density functional theory calculation results. This work unravels and emphasizes the important role of adsorbed oxygen in the optical spectra and many-body interactions of MoS$_2$.

We study photoluminescence (PL) spectra and exciton dynamics of MoS$_2$ monolayer (ML) grown by the chemical vapor deposition technique. In addition to the usual direct A-exciton line we observe a low-energy line of bound excitons dominating the PL s pectra at low temperatures. This line shows unusually strong redshift with increase in the temperature and submicrosecond time dynamics suggesting indirect nature of the corresponding transition. By monitoring temporal dynamics of exciton PL distribution in the ML plane we observe diffusive transport of A-excitons and measure the diffusion coefficient up to $40$~cm$^2$/s at elevated excitation powers. The bound exciton spatial distribution spreads over tens of microns in $sim 1$ $mu$s. However this spread is subdiffusive, characterized by a significant slowing down with time. The experimental findings are interpreted as a result of the interplay between the diffusion and Auger recombination of excitons.
We present experimental and theoretical results on the high-quality single-layer MoS$_{2}$ which reveal the fine structure of charged excitons, i.e., trions. In the emission spectra we resolve and identify two trion peaks, T$_{1}$ and T$_{2}$, resemb ling the pair of singlet and triplet trion peaks (T$_S$ and T$_{T}$) in tungsten-based materials. However, in polarization-dependent photoluminescence measurements we identify these peaks as novel intra- and inter-valley singlet trions, constituting the trion fine structure distinct from that already known in bright and dark 2D materials with large conduction-band splitting induced by the spin-orbit coupling. We show that the trion energy splitting in MoS$_{2}$ is a sensitive probe of inter- and intra-valley carrier interaction. With additional support from theory we claim that the existence of these singlet trions combined with an anomalous excitonic g-factor and the characteristic temperature dependence of the emission spectra together suggest that monolayer MoS$_{2}$ has a dark excitonic ground state, despite having bright single-particle arrangement of spin-polarized conduction bands.
Degenerate extrema in the energy dispersion of charge carriers in solids, also referred to as valleys, can be regarded as a binary quantum degree of freedom, which can potentially be used to implement valleytronic concepts in van der Waals heterostru ctures based on transition metal dichalcogenides. Using magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy, we achieve a deeper insight into the valley polarization and depolarization mechanisms of interlayer excitons formed across a MoS$_2$/MoSe$_2$/MoS$_2$ heterostructure. We account for the non-trivial behavior of the valley polarization as a function of the magnetic field by considering the interplay between exchange interaction and phonon mediated intervalley scattering in a system consisting of Zeeman-split energy levels. Our results represent a crucial step towards the understanding of the properties of interlayer excitons, with strong implications for the implementation of atomically thin valleytronic devices.
The interaction of intralayer and interlayer excitons is studied in a two-dimensional semiconductor, homobilayer MoS$_2$. It is shown that the measured optical susceptibility reveals both the magnitude and the sign of the coupling constants. The inte rlayer exciton interacts capacitively with the intralayer B-exciton (positive coupling constant) consistent with hole tunnelling from one monolayer to the other. Conversely, the interlayer exciton interacts inductively with the intralayer A-exciton (negative coupling constant). First-principles many-body calculations show that this coupling arises via an intravalley exchange-interaction of A- and B-excitons.
The optical susceptibility is a local, minimally-invasive and spin-selective probe of the ground state of a two-dimensional electron gas. We apply this probe to a gated monolayer of MoS$_2$. We demonstrate that the electrons are spin polarized. Of th e four available bands, only two are occupied. These two bands have the same spin but different valley quantum numbers. We argue that strong Coulomb interactions are a key aspect of this spontaneous symmetry breaking. The Bohr radius is so small that even electrons located far apart in phase space interact, facilitating exchange couplings to align the spins.
