Brightening of dark excitons in monolayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides

Abstract

We present low temperature magneto-photoluminescence experiments which demonstrate the brightening of dark excitons by an in-plane magnetic field $B$ applied to monolayers of different semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides. For both WSe${}_2$ and WS${}_2$ monolayers, the dark exciton emission is observed at $\sim$50 meV below the bright exciton peak and displays a characteristic doublet structure which intensity is growing with $B^2$, while no magnetic field induced emission peaks appear for MoSe${}_2$ monolayer. Our experiments also show that the MoS${}_2$ monolayer has a dark exciton ground state with a dark-bright exciton splitting energy of $\sim$100 meV.
