We report magneto-photoluminescence spectroscopy of gated MoS$_2$ monolayers in high magnetic fields to 28 T. At B = 0T and electron density $n_ssim 10^{12}cm^-2$, we observe three trion resonances that cannot be explained within a single-particle picture. Employing ab initio calculations that take into account three-particle correlation effects as well as local and non-local electron-hole exchange interaction, we identify those features as quantum superpositions of inter- and intravalley spin states. We experimentally investigate the mixed character of the trion wave function via the filling factor dependent valley Zeeman shift in positive and negative magnetic fields. Our results highlight the importance of exchange interactions for exciton physics in monolayer MoS$_2$ and provide new insights into the microscopic understanding of trion physics in 2D multi-valley semiconductors for low excess carrier densities.

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.
Quantum light sources in solid-state systems are of major interest as a basic ingredient for integrated quantum device technologies. The ability to tailor quantum emission through deterministic defect engineering is of growing importance for realizin
g scalable quantum architectures. However, a major difficulty is that defects need to be positioned site-selectively within the solid. Here, we overcome this challenge by controllably irradiating single-layer MoS$_{2}$ using a sub-nm focused helium ion beam to deterministically create defects. Subsequent encapsulation of the ion bombarded MoS$_{2}$ flake with high-quality hBN reveals spectrally narrow emission lines that produce photons at optical wavelengths in an energy window of one to two hundred meV below the neutral 2D exciton of MoS$_{2}$. Based on ab-initio calculations we interpret these emission lines as stemming from the recombination of highly localized electron-hole complexes at defect states generated by the helium ion bombardment. Our approach to deterministically write optically active defect states in a single transition metal dichalcogenide layer provides a platform for realizing exotic many-body systems, including coupled single-photon sources and exotic Hubbard systems.
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.
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.
We predict that in a twisted homobilayer of transition-metal dichalcogenide MoS$_2$, spin-orbit coupling in the conduction band states from $pm K$ valleys can give rise to moir{e} flat bands with nonzero Chern numbers in each valley. The nontrivial b
and topology originates from a unique combination of angular twist and local mirror symmetry breaking in each individual layer, which results in unusual skyrmionic spin textures in momentum space with skyrmion number $mathcal{S} = pm 2$. Our Hartree-Fock analysis further suggests that density-density interactions generically drive the system at $1/2$-filling into a valley-polarized state, which realizes a correlated quantum anomalous Hall state with Chern number $mathcal{C} = pm 2$. Effects of displacement fields are discussed with comparison to nontrivial topology from layer-pseudospin magnetic fields.
