Strain in two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) has led to localized states with exciting optical properties, in particular in view of designing one photon sources. The naturally formed of the MoS2 monolayer deposed on hBN substrate leads to a reduction of the bandgap in the strained region creating a nanobubble. The photogenerated particles are thus confined in the strain-induced potential. Using numerical diagonalization, we simulate the spectra of the confined exciton states, their oscillator strengths and radiative lifetimes. We show that a single state of the confined exciton is optically active, which suggests that the MoS2/hBN nanobubble is a good candidate for the realisation of single-photon sources. Furthermore, the exciton binding energy, oscillator strength and radiative lifetime are enhanced due to the confinement effect.

Due to a strong Coulomb interaction, excitons dominate the excitation kinetics in 2D materials. While Coulomb-scattering between electrons has been well studied, the interaction of excitons is more challenging and remains to be explored. As neutral c omposite bosons consisting of electrons and holes, excitons show a non-trivial scattering dynamics. Here, we study on microscopic footing exciton-exciton interaction in transition-metal dichalcogenides and related van der Waals heterostructures. We demonstrate that the crucial criterion for efficient scattering is a large electron/hole mass asymmetry giving rise to internal charge inhomogeneities of excitons and emphasizing their cobosonic substructure. Furthermore, both exchange and direct exciton-exciton interactions are boosted by enhanced exciton Bohr radii. We also predict an unexpected temperature dependence that is usually associated to phonon-driven scattering and we reveal an orders of magnitude stronger interaction of interlayer excitons due to their permanent dipole moment. The developed approach can be generalized to arbitrary material systems and will help to study strongly correlated exciton systems, such as moire super lattices.

The formation of interfacial moire patterns from angular and/or lattice mismatch has become a powerful approach to engineer a range of quantum phenomena in van der Waals heterostructures. For long-lived and valley-polarized interlayer excitons in tra nsition-metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) heterobilayers, signatures of quantum confinement by the moire landscape have been reported in recent experimental studies. Such moire confinement has offered the exciting possibility to tailor new excitonic systems, such as ordered arrays of zero-dimensional (0D) quantum emitters and their coupling into topological superlattices. A remarkable nature of the moire potential is its dramatic response to strain, where a small uniaxial strain can tune the array of quantum-dot-like 0D traps into parallel stripes of one-dimensional (1D) quantum wires. Here, we present direct evidence for the 1D moire potentials from real space imaging and the corresponding 1D moire excitons from photoluminescence (PL) emission in MoSe2/WSe2 heterobilayers. Whereas the 0D moire excitons display quantum emitter-like sharp PL peaks with circular polarization, the PL emission from 1D moire excitons has linear polarization and two orders of magnitude higher intensity. The results presented here establish strain engineering as a powerful new method to tailor moire potentials as well as their optical and electronic responses on demand.
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are an exciting family of 2D materials; a member of this family, MoS$_2$, became the first measured monolayer semiconductor. In this article, a generalized phenomenological continuum model for the optical vibra tions of the monolayer TMDs valid in the long-wavelength limit is developed. Non-polar oscillations involve differential equations for the phonon displacement vector that describe phonon dispersion up to a quadratic approximation. On the other hand, the polar modes satisfy coupled differential equations for the displacement vectors and the inner electric field. The two-dimensional phonon dispersion curves for in-plane and out-of-plane oscillations are thoroughly analyzed. This model provides an efficient approach to obtain the phonon dispersion curves at the $Gamma$-point of the Brillouin zone of the whole family of TMD monolayers. The model parameters are fitted from density functional perturbation theory calculations. A detailed evaluation of the intravalley Pekar-Frohlich (P-F) and the $A_1$-homopolar mode deformation potential (Dp) coupling mechanisms is performed. The effects of metal ions and chalcogen atoms on polaron mass and binding energy are studied, considering these two contributions, the short-range Dp and P-F. It is argued that both mechanisms must be considered for a correct analysis of the polaron properties.

We have investigated the exciton dynamics in transition metal dichalcogenide mono-layers using time-resolved photoluminescence experiments performed with optimized time-resolution. For MoSe2 monolayers, we measure $tau_{rad}=1.8pm0.2$ ps that we inte rpret as the intrinsic radiative recombination time. Similar values are found for WSe2 mono-layers. Our detailed analysis suggests the following scenario: at low temperature (T $leq$ 50 K), the exciton oscillator strength is so large that the entire light can be emitted before the time required for the establishment of a thermalized exciton distribution. For higher lattice temperatures, the photoluminescence dynamics is characterized by two regimes with very different characteristic times. First the PL intensity drops drastically with a decay time in the range of the picosecond driven by the escape of excitons from the radiative window due to exciton- phonon interactions. Following this first non-thermal regime, a thermalized exciton population is established gradually yielding longer photoluminescence decay times in the nanosecond range. Both the exciton effective radiative recombination and non-radiative recombination channels including exciton-exciton annihilation control the latter. Finally the temperature dependence of the measured exciton and trion dynamics indicates that the two populations are not in thermodynamical equilibrium.
Monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are characterized by an extraordinarily strong Coulomb interaction giving rise to tightly bound excitons with binding energies of hundreds of meV. Excitons dominate the optical response as well as the ultrafast dynamics in TMDs. As a result, a microscopic understanding of exciton dynamics is the key for technological application of these materials. In spite of this immense importance, elementary processes guiding the formation and relaxation of excitons after optical excitation of an electron-hole plasma has remained unexplored to a large extent. Here, we provide a fully quantum mechanical description of momentum- and energy-resolved exciton dynamics in monolayer molybdenum diselenide (MoSe$_2$) including optical excitation, formation of excitons, radiative recombination as well as phonon-induced cascade-like relaxation down to the excitonic ground state. Based on the gained insights, we reveal experimentally measurable features in pump-probe spectra providing evidence for the exciton relaxation cascade.
