Twisted MoSe Homobilayer Behaving as a .

Heterostructures (HSs) formed by the transition-metal dichalcogenide materials have shown great promise in next-generation (opto)electronic applications. An artificially twisted HS allows us to manipulate the optical and electronic properties. In this work, we introduce the understanding of the energy transfer (ET) process governed by the dipolar interaction in a twisted molybdenum diselenide (MoSe) homobilayer any charge-blocking interlayer.

Resonant Raman scattering of few layers CrBr.

We investigate the vibrational and magnetic properties of thin layers of chromium tribromide (CrBr) with a thickness ranging from three to twenty layers (3-20 L) revealed by the Raman scattering (RS) technique. Systematic dependence of the RS process efficiency on the energy of the laser excitation is explored for four different excitation energies: 1.96 eV, 2.

Excitation-Dependent High-Lying Excitonic Exchange Interlayer Energy Transfer from -- Bandgap 2D Material.

High light absorption (∼15%) and strong photoluminescence (PL) emission in monolayer (1L) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) make them ideal candidates for optoelectronic device applications. Competing interlayer charge transfer (CT) and energy transfer (ET) processes control the photocarrier relaxation pathways in TMD heterostructures (HSs). In TMDs, long-distance ET can survive up to several tens of nm, unlike the CT process.

Structure of the moiré exciton captured by imaging its electron and hole.

Interlayer excitons (ILXs) - electron-hole pairs bound across two atomically thin layered semiconductors - have emerged as attractive platforms to study exciton condensation, single-photon emission and other quantum information applications. Yet, despite extensive optical spectroscopic investigations, critical information about their size, valley configuration and the influence of the moiré potential remains unknown. Here, in a WSe/MoS heterostructure, we captured images of the time-resolved and momentum-resolved distribution of both of the particles that bind to form the ILX: the electron and the hole.

Dominating Interlayer Resonant Energy Transfer in Type-II 2D Heterostructure.

Type-II heterostructures (HSs) are essential components of modern electronic and optoelectronic devices. Earlier studies have found that in type-II transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) HSs, the dominating carrier relaxation pathway is the interlayer charge transfer (CT) mechanism. Here, this report shows that, in a type-II HS formed between monolayers of MoSe and ReS, nonradiative energy transfer (ET) from higher to lower work function material (ReS to MoSe) dominates over the traditional CT process with and a charge-blocking interlayer.

Experimental measurement of the intrinsic excitonic wave function.

An exciton, a two-body composite quasiparticle formed of an electron and hole, is a fundamental optical excitation in condensed matter systems. Since its discovery nearly a century ago, a measurement of the excitonic wave function has remained beyond experimental reach. Here, we directly image the excitonic wave function in reciprocal space by measuring the momentum distribution of electrons photoemitted from excitons in monolayer tungsten diselenide.

Directly visualizing the momentum-forbidden dark excitons and their dynamics in atomically thin semiconductors.

Resolving momentum degrees of freedom of excitons, which are electron-hole pairs bound by the Coulomb attraction in a photoexcited semiconductor, has remained an elusive goal for decades. In atomically thin semiconductors, such a capability could probe the momentum-forbidden dark excitons, which critically affect proposed opto-electronic technologies but are not directly accessible using optical techniques. Here, we probed the momentum state of excitons in a tungsten diselenide monolayer by photoemitting their constituent electrons and resolving them in time, momentum, and energy.

Approaching completely continuous centimeter-scale graphene by copolymer-assisted transfer.

Transferring graphene from copper foil to a target substrate should ideally be a nondestructive process, but cracks, holes, and wrinkles have proved difficult to prevent. Here we report a method in which we use a commercially available copolymer in addition to poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) to obtain 99.8% continuous centimeter-scale transferred graphene.
