Atomically thin semiconductors provide an ideal testbed to investigate the physics of Coulomb-bound many-body states. We shed light on the intricate structure of such complexes by studying the magnetic-field-induced splitting of biexcitons in monolayer WS_{2} using polarization-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy in out-of-plane magnetic fields up to 30 T. The observed g factor of the biexciton amounts to about -3.9, closely matching the g factor of the neutral exciton. The biexciton emission shows an inverted circular field-induced polarization upon linearly polarized excitation; i.e., it exhibits preferential emission from the high-energy peak in a magnetic field. This phenomenon is explained by taking into account the hybrid configuration of the biexciton constituents in momentum space and their respective energetic behavior in magnetic fields. Our findings reveal the critical role of dark excitons in the composition of this many-body state.

InAs semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) emitting in the near-infrared are promising platforms for on-demand single-photon sources and spin-photon interfaces. However, the realization of quantum-photonic nanodevices emitting in the telecom windows with similar performance remains an open challenge. In particular, nanophotonic devices incorporating quantum light emitting diodes in the telecom C-band based on GaAs substrates are still lacking due to the relaxation of the lattice constant along the InGaAs graded layer which makes the implementation of electrically contacted devices challenging.

Metal halide perovskite materials (MHPs) are promising for several applications due to their exceptional properties. Understanding excitonic properties is essential for exploiting these materials. For this purpose, we focus on CsPbBr3 single crystals, which have higher crystal quality, are more stable, and have no Rashba effect at low temperatures compared to other 3D MHPs.

Quantum information processing demands efficient quantum light sources (QLS) capable of producing high-fidelity single photons or entangled photon pairs. Single epitaxial quantum dots (QDs) have long been proven to be efficient sources of deterministic single photons; however, their production via molecular-beam epitaxy presents scalability challenges. Conversely, colloidal semiconductor QDs offer scalable solution processing and tunable photoluminescence, but suffer from broader linewidths and unstable emissions.

Spherical quantum wells (SQWs) have proven to be excellent materials for suppressing Auger recombination due to their expanded confinement volume. However, research on the factors and mechanisms of their high-intensity optical properties, such as multiexciton properties and third-order optical nonlinearities, remains incomplete, limiting further optimization of these properties. Here, a series of CdS/CdSe (xML)/CdS SQWs with varying CdSe layer thicknesses were prepared.

Article Synopsis
  • Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals, particularly giant CsPbBr nanocrystals, show promise for producing time-correlated and entangled photons through cascaded multiexcitonic emissions, despite challenges from nonradiative decay.
  • The study demonstrates successful room-temperature spectroscopy of three-photon cascades from triexcitons, revealing strong correlation values that indicate weak binding of excitonic states.
  • By analyzing fluorescence lifetimes and photon statistics, the researchers confirm emissions from higher multiexcitonic states and propose ways to control the statistics of emitted photons in future applications.
