Owing to nonzero charge and spin degrees of freedom, trions offer unprecedented tunability and open new paths for applications in devices based on 2D semiconductors. However, in monolayer WSe, the trion photoluminescence is commonly detected only at low temperatures and vanishes at room temperature, which undermines practical applications. To unveil how to overcome this obstacle, we have developed a comprehensive theory to probe the impact of different excitonic channels on the trion emission in WSemonolayers, which combinestight-binding formalism, Bethe-Salpeter equation and a set of coupled rate equations to describe valley dynamics of excitonic particles.

We report a comprehensive theory to describe exciton and biexciton valley dynamics in monolayer MoWSe alloys. To probe the impact of different excitonic channels, including bright and dark excitons, intravalley biexcitons, intervalley scattering between bright excitons, as well as bright biexcitons, we have performed a systematic study from the simplest system to the most complex one. In contrast to the binary WSe monolayer with weak photoluminescence (PL) and high valley polarization at low temperatures and the MoSe, that presents high PL intensity, but low valley polarization, our results demonstrate that it is possible to set up a ternary alloy with intermediate W-concentration that holds simultaneously a considerably robust light emission and an efficient optical orientation of the valley pseudospin.
