Low temperature and polarization resolved magneto-photoluminescence experiments are used to investigate the properties of dark excitons and dark trions in a monolayer of WS$_2$ encapsulated in hexagonal BN (hBN). We find that this system is an $n$-type doped semiconductor and that dark trions dominate the emission spectrum. In line with previous studies on WSe$_2$, we identify the Coulomb exchange interaction coupled neutral dark and grey excitons through their polarization properties, while an analogous effect is not observed for dark trions. Applying the magnetic field in both perpendicular and parallel configurations with respect to the monolayer plane, we determine the g-factor of dark trions to be $gsim$-8.6. Their decay rate is close to 0.5 ns, more than 2 orders of magnitude longer than that of bright excitons.

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 rge tunable devices based on WSe$_2$ monolayers encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride, to investigate the difference in binding energy between X$^+$ and X$^-$ and the X$^-$ fine structure. We find in the charge neutral regime, the X$^0$ emission accompanied at lower energy by a strong peak close to the longitudinal optical (LO) phonon energy. This peak is absent in reflectivity measurements, where only the X$^0$ and an excited state of the X$^0$ are visible. In the $n$-doped regime, we find a closer correspondence between emission and reflectivity as the trion transition with a well-resolved fine-structure splitting of 6~meV for X$^-$ is observed. We present a symmetry analysis of the different X$^+$ and X$^-$ trion states and results of the binding energy calculations. We compare the trion binding energy for the $n$-and $p$-doped regimes with our model calculations for low carrier concentrations. We demonstrate that the splitting between the X$^+$ and X$^-$ trions as well as the fine structure of the X$^-$ state can be related to the short-range Coulomb exchange interaction between the charge carriers.
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.
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 nic dynamics, but intervalley transitions are rarely observed in monolayer TMDs, because they violate the conservation of momentum. Here we reveal the intervalley recombination of dark excitons and trions through more than one path in monolayer WSe$_2$. We observe the intervalley dark excitons, which can recombine by the assistance of defect scattering or chiral-phonon emission. We also reveal that a trion can decay in two distinct paths - through intravalley or intervalley electron-hole recombination - into two different final valley states. Although these two paths are energy degenerate, we can distinguish them by lifting the valley degeneracy under a magnetic field. In addition, the intra- and inter-valley trion transitions are coupled to zone-center and zone-corner chiral phonons, respectively, to produce distinct phonon replicas. The observed multipath optical decays of dark excitons and trions provide much insight into the internal quantum structure of trions and the complex excitonic interactions with defects and chiral phonons in monolayer valley semiconductors.
Interlayer excitons in layered materials constitute a novel platform to study many-body phenomena arising from long-range interactions between quantum particles. The ability to localise individual interlayer excitons in potential energy traps is a ke y step towards simulating Hubbard physics in artificial lattices. Here, we demonstrate spatial localisation of long-lived interlayer excitons in a strongly confining trap array using a WS$_{2}$/WSe$_{2}$ heterostructure on a nanopatterned substrate. We detect long-lived interlayer excitons with lifetime approaching 0.2 ms and show that their confinement results in a reduced lifetime in the microsecond range and stronger emission rate with sustained optical selection rules. The combination of a permanent dipole moment, spatial confinement and long lifetime places interlayer excitons in a regime that satisfies one of the requirements for observing long-range dynamics in an optically resolvable trap lattice.
Monolayer group VI transition metal dichalcogenides have recently emerged as semiconducting alternatives to graphene in which the true two-dimensionality (2D) is expected to illuminate new semiconducting physics. Here we investigate excitons and trio ns (their singly charged counterparts) which have thus far been challenging to generate and control in the ultimate 2D limit. Utilizing high quality monolayer molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2), we report the unambiguous observation and electrostatic tunability of charging effects in positively charged (X+), neutral (Xo), and negatively charged (X-) excitons in field effect transistors via photoluminescence. The trion charging energy is large (30 meV), enhanced by strong confinement and heavy effective masses, while the linewidth is narrow (5 meV) at temperatures below 55 K. This is greater spectral contrast than in any known quasi-2D system. We also find the charging energies for X+ and X- to be nearly identical implying the same effective mass for electrons and holes.
