Van der Waals heterostructures offer attractive opportunities to design quantum materials. For instance, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) possess three quantum degrees of freedom: spin, valley index, and layer index. Further, twisted…
We examine a mechanism by which excitons undergo ultrafast relaxation in common monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides. It is shown that at densities $\approx$ 1$\times$ 10$^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$ and temperatures $ \le 60$ K, excitons in well…
Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers provide a versatile platform to explore unique excitonic physics via properties of the constituent TMDs and external stimuli. Interlayer excitons (IXs) can form in TMD heterobilayers as…
The introduction of 'twist' or relative rotation between two atomically thin van der Waals (vdW) membranes gives rise to periodic Moire potential, leading to a substantial altercation of the band structure of the planar assembly. While most…
We report robust room temperature interlayer excitons in transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures engineered via precise stacking orientation and twist-angle control. We integrate 2H-stacked…
Moir\'e patterns are common in Van der Waals heterostructures and can be used to apply periodic potentials to elementary excitations. We show that the optical absorption spectrum of transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers is profoundly…
Optoelectronic properties of van der Waals homostructures can be selectively engineered by the relative twist angle between layers. Here, we study the twist-dependent moire coupling in MoSe2 homobilayers. For small angles, we find a…
The exciton valley dynamics in van der Waals heterostructures with transition metal dichalcogenides monolayers is driven by the long-range exchange interaction between the electron and the hole in the exciton. It couples the states active…
Motivated by the successful synthesis of isolated ZrS2 and HfS2 transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers and inspired by their nearly identical lattice constants, we construct and investigate a vertical ZrS2/HfS2 van der Waals (vdW)…
Lateral heterostructures built of monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are characterized by a thin 1D interface exhibiting a large energy offset. Recently, the formation of spatially separated charge-transfer (CT) excitons…
We have combined spatially-resolved steady-state micro-photoluminescence ($\mu$PL) with time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) to investigate the exciton diffusion in a WSe$_2$ monolayer encapsulated with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). At…
The rapidly growing class of atomically thin and tunable van der Waals materials is intensely investigated both in the context of fundamental science and for new technologies. There is in this connection a widespread need for new ways to…
Long lifetimes of spatially indirect excitons (IXs), also known as interlayer excitons, make possible long-range IX propagation. Van der Waals heterostructures composed of atomically thin layers of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)…
The equilibrium and non-equilibrium optical properties of single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are determined by strongly bound excitons. Exciton relaxation dynamics in TMDs have been extensively studied by time-domain…
The optics of dangling-bond-free van der Waals heterostructures containing transition metal dichalcogenides are dominated by excitons. A crucial property of a confined exciton is the quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE). Here, such a…
Moir\'e superlattices can induce correlated-electronic phases in twisted van-der-Waals materials. Strongly correlated quantum phenomena emerge, such as superconductivity and the Mott-insulating state. However, moir\'e superlattices produced…
The elastic collective modes of a moir\'e superlattice arise not from vibrations of a rigid crystal but from the relative displacement between the constituent layers. Despite their similarity to acoustic phonons, these modes, called…
Layered van der Waals (vdW) magnetic semiconductors open a new avenue for exploring intertwined excitonic and magnetic phenomena. Here, we investigate this interplay in the vdW MnPS3 antiferromagnet, uncovering an exceptionally long exciton…
A twist between two systems offers the possibility to drastically change the underlying physical properties. To that end, we study the bandstructure of twisted moir\'e potentials in detail. At sets of commensurate twisting angles, the low…
Vertically stacked van der Waals heterostructures constitute a promising platform for providing tailored band alignment with enhanced excitonic systems. Here we report observations of neutral and charged interlayer excitons in trilayer…
