Cooperative effects allow for fascinating characteristics in light-matter interacting systems. Here, we study naturally occurring superradiant coupling in a class of quasi-two-dimensional, layered semiconductor systems. We perform optical absorption experiments of the lowest exciton for transition-metal dichalcogenides with different numbers of atomic layers. We examine two representative materials, MoSe$_2$ and WSe$_2$, using incoherent broadband white light. The measured transmission at the A exciton resonance does not saturate for optically thick samples consisting of hundreds of atomic layers, and the transmission varies nonmonotonously with the layer number. A self-consistent microscopic calculation reproduces the experimental observations, clearly identifying superradiant coupling effects as the origin of this unexpected behavior.

In transition-metal dichalcogenides, electrons in the K-valleys can experience both Ising and Rashba spin-orbit couplings. In this work, we show that the coexistence of Ising and Rashba spin-orbit couplings leads to a special type of valley Hall effe
ct, which we call spin-orbit coupling induced valley Hall effect. Importantly, near the conduction band edge, the valley-dependent Berry curvatures generated by spin-orbit couplings are highly tunable by external gates and dominate over the intrinsic Berry curvatures originating from orbital degrees of freedom under accessible experimental conditions. We show that the spin-orbit coupling induced valley Hall effect is manifested in the gate dependence of the valley Hall conductivity, which can be detected by Kerr effect experiments.
Orbital Hall effect (OHE) is the phenomenon of transverse flow of orbital moment in presence of an applied electric field. Solids with broken inversion symmetry are expected to exhibit a strong OHE due to the presence of an intrinsic orbital moment a
t individual momentum points in the Brillouin zone, which in presence of an applied electric field, flows in different directions causing a net orbital Hall current. Here we provide a comprehensive understanding of the effect and its tunability in the monolayer 2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). Both metallic and insulating TMDCs are investigated from full density-functional calculations, effective $d$-band tight-binding models, as well as a minimal four-band model for the valley points that captures the key physics of the system. For the tuning of the OHE, we examine the role of hole doping as well as the change in the band parameters, which, e. g., can be controlled by strain. We demonstrate that the OHE is a more fundamental effect than the spin Hall effect (SHE), with the momentum-space orbital moments inducing a spin moment in the presence of the spin-orbit coupling, leading to the SHE. The physics of the OHE, described here, is relevant for 2D materials with broken inversion symmetry in general, even beyond the TMDCs, providing a broad platform for future research.
This work investigates the feasibility of electrical valley filtering for holes in transition metal dichalcogenides. We look specifically into the scheme that utilizes a potential barrier to produce valley-dependent tunneling rates, and perform the s
tudy with both a k.p based analytic method and a recursive Greens function based numerical method. The study yields the transmission coefficient as a function of incident energy and transverse wave vector, for holes going through lateral quantum barriers oriented in either armchair or zigzag directions, in both homogeneous and heterogeneous systems. The main findings are the following: 1) the tunneling current valley polarization increases with increasing barrier width or height, 2) both the valley-orbit interaction and band structure warping contribute to valley-dependent tunneling, with the former contribution being manifest in structures with asymmetric potential barriers, and the latter being orientation-dependent and reaching maximum for transmission in the armchair direction, and 3) for transmission ~ 0.1, a tunneling current valley polarization of the order of 10% can be achieved.
The valley degree of freedom is a sought-after quantum number in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides. Similar to optical spin orientation in semiconductors, the helicity of absorbed photons can be relayed to the valley (pseudospin) quantum num
ber of photoexcited electrons and holes. Also similar to the quantum-mechanical spin, the valley quantum number is not a conserved quantity. Valley depolarization of excitons in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides due to long-range electron-hole exchange typically takes a few ps at low temperatures. Exceptions to this behavior are monolayers MoSe$_2$ and MoTe$_2$ wherein the depolarization is much faster. We elucidate the enigmatic anomaly of these materials, finding that it originates from Rashba-induced coupling of the dark and bright exciton branches next to their degeneracy point. When photoexcited excitons scatter during their energy relaxation between states next to the degeneracy region, they reach the light cone after losing the initial helicity. The valley depolarization is not as fast in monolayers WSe$_2$, WS$_2$ and likely MoS$_2$ wherein the Rashba-induced coupling is negligible.
We report charged exciton (trion) formation dynamics in doped monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), specifically molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), using resonant two-color pump-probe spectroscopy. When resonantly pumping the exciton transit
ion, trions are generated on a picosecond timescale through exciton-electron interaction. As the pump energy is tuned from the high energy to low energy side of the inhomogeneously broadened exciton resonance, the trion formation time increases by ~ 50%. This feature can be explained by the existence of both localized and delocalized excitons in a disordered potential and suggests the existence of an exciton mobility edge in TMDs. The quasiparticle formation and conversion processes are important for interpreting photoluminescence and photoconductivity in TMDs.
