报告题目：Control of the Exciton Properties in Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Monolayers

报告人：韩博博士

报告摘要：2D semiconductors based on Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMD), such as MoS₂, are very promising nanostructures for optical and electronic applications. 2H-phase TMD materials have a layer thickness dependent band structure: indirect bandgap for a number of layers≥2, while the monolayer form has a direct bandgap located at the K points of the 2D hexagonal Brillouin zone. The optical properties of TMD thin layers are governed by Coulomb bound electron-hole pair, i.e. exciton, with giant binding energy of a few hundreds of meV. In monolayers (ML), the interplay between the absence of inversion symmetry and the spin-obit interaction yields very unique optical selection rules: valley selective circular dichroism arises as a consequence of the coupling between spin and valley physics.

In this talk, an all-dry viscoelastic stamping method is used to fabricate high-quality van der Waals heterostuctures based on TMD materials. Thanks to the use of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN, large indirect gap ~6meV semiconductor) as encapsulation layers, the exciton linewidth of TMD monolayer is narrowed, approaching the homogeneous limit (1-4 meV). (1) This improvement of optical properties allows us to explore the long-disputing exciton fine structure in Molybdenum-based TMD MLs. I performed magneto-photoluminescence experiments up to 30 T to brighten the dark exciton states. The bright excitons are measured 1.4 meV below the dark ones in MoSe₂ML, whereas the ordering is opposite for MoS₂ML with bright states 14 meV above the dark states. (2) Thanks to the reduction of dielectric disorder in encapsulated MoSe₂monolayers, I also demonstrate the control of exciton radiative lifetime and linewidth as a result of the Purcell effect by simply tuning the bottomhBN thickness. (3) Finally we use various optical spectroscopy techniques to reveal the exciton excited states in MoTe₂MLs for the first time. Exciton upconversion is observed in all TMD monolayers that we have investigated: MoS₂, MoSe₂, MoTe₂and WSe₂. It is interpreted as a consequence of very efficient resonant interband Auger processes. These detailed studies help us better understand the physics of 2D TMD semiconductors and pave the way for future photonic and optoelectronic applications.
