AbstractAbstract
[en] Scientific curiosity to uncover original optical properties and functionalities of atomically thin semiconductors, stemming from unusual Coulomb interactions in the two-dimensional geometry and multi-valley band structure, drives the research on monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). While recent works ascertained the exotic energetic schemes of exciton complexes in TMDs, we here infer their unusual coherent dynamics occurring on subpicosecond time scale. The dynamics is largely affected by the disorder landscape on the submicron scale, thus can be uncovered using four-wave mixing in the frequency domain, which enables microscopic investigations and imaging. Focusing on a WS2 monolayer, we observe that exciton coherence is lost primarily due to interaction with phonons and relaxation processes towards optically dark excitonic states. Notably, when temperature is low and disorder weak, excitons large coherence volume results in enhanced oscillator strength, allowing to reach the regime of radiatively limited dephasing. Additionally, we observe long valley coherence for the negatively charged exciton complex. We therefore elucidate the crucial role of exciton environment in the TMDs on its dynamics and show that revealed mechanisms are ubiquitous within this family. (letter)
