Signatures of valley drift in the diversified band dispersions of bright, gray, and dark excitons in MoS2 monolayers under uni-axial strains

Abstract
We present a comprehensive theoretical investigation of the strain-modulated excitonic properties of uni-axially strained transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers (TMD-MLs) by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) established on the basis of first principles. We show that imposing an uni-axial strain onto a MoS_ monolayers leads to the diversified band dispersions of the bright exciton (BX), gray exciton (GX), and dark exciton (DX) states, as a consequence of the competitive interplay between strain-induced valley drift (VD) and momentum-dependent electron-hole exchange interaction (EHEI). While the band dispersions of BX doublet in the light-accessible small reciprocal area remain almost unchanged against strain, the band dispersion of DX is reshaped by an increasing uni-axial strain from a parabola to a Mexican-hat-like profile, featured with unusual sign-reversal of the heavy effective mass and strain-activated brightness. In contrast, the effective mass of GX is drastically lightened by uni-axial strain and remains always positive. We show that the strain-diversified exciton band dispersions leads to the distinct exciton diffusivities and angle-resolved optical patterns of BX, GX, and DX in a strained TMD-ML, suggesting the feasibility of {\it spatially} resolving spinallowed and -forbidden excitons in exciton transport experiments and angle-resolved optical spectroscopies.
