Light-matter coupling and non-equilibrium dynamics of exchange-split trions in monolayer WS2
arXiv:2005.03870 · doi:10.1063/5.0012721
Abstract
Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides present an intriguing platform to investigate the interplay of excitonic complexes in two dimensional semiconductors. Here, we use optical spectroscopy to study light-matter coupling and non-equilibrium relaxation dynamics of three-particle exciton states, commonly known as trions. We identify the consequences of the exchange interaction for the trion finestructure in tungsten-based monolayer materials from variational calculations and experimentally determine the resulting characteristic differences in their oscillator strength. It allows us to quantitatively extract trion populations from time-resolved photoluminescence measurements and monitor their dynamics after off-resonant optical injection. At liquid helium temperature we observe pronounced non-equilibrium distribution of the trions during their lifetime with comparatively slow equilibration that occurs on time-scales up to several 100's of ps. In addition, we find an intriguing regime of population inversion at lowest excitation densities that builds up and is maintained during 10's of picoseconds. With increased lattice temperature the equilibrium is established more rapidly and the inversion disappears, highlighting the role of thermal activation for efficient scattering between exchange-split trions.
