Trembling motion of electrons driven by Larmor spin precession

I. Stepanov, M. Ersfeld, A. V. Poshakinskiy +4

We show that the initialization of an ensemble of electrons in the same spin state in strained n-InGaAs subject to a perpendicular magnetic field triggers an AC electric current at…

Twist angle dependent interlayer transfer of valley polarization from excitons to free charge carriers in WSe/MoSe heterobilayers

Frank Volmer, Manfred Ersfeld, Paulo E. Faria Junior +13

We identify an optical excitation mechanism that transfers a valley polarization from photo-excited electron-hole pairs to free charge carriers in twisted WSe/MoSe heterobi…

Valley lifetimes of conduction band electrons in monolayer WSe

Manfred Ersfeld, Frank Volmer, Lars Rathmann +10

One of the main tasks in the investigation of 2-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides is the determination of valley lifetimes. In this work, we combine time-resolved Kerr r…

How the dynamic of photo-induced gate screening complicates the investigation of valley physics in 2D materials

F. Volmer, M. Ersfeld, L. Rathmann +6

An in-depth analysis of valley physics in 2D materials like transition metal dichalcogenides requires the measurement of many material properties as a function of Fermi level posit…

Unveiling valley lifetimes of free charge carriers in monolayer WSe

Manfred Ersfeld, Frank Volmer, Lars Rathmann +10

We report on nanosecond long, gate-dependent valley lifetimes of free charge carriers in monolayer WSe, unambiguously identified by the combination of time-resolved Kerr rotati…

Spin States Protected from Intrinsic Electron-Phonon-Coupling Reaching 100 ns Lifetime at Room Temperature in MoSe

Manfred Ersfeld, Frank Volmer, Pedro Miguel M. C. de Melo +6

We present time-resolved Kerr rotation measurements, showing spin lifetimes of over 100 ns at room temperature in monolayer MoSe. These long lifetimes are accompanied by an int…

All-electrical time-resolved spin generation and spin manipulation in n-InGaAs

I. Stepanov, S. Kuhlen, M. Ersfeld +2

We demonstrate all-electrical spin generation and subsequent manipulation by two successive electric field pulses in an n-InGaAs heterostructure in a time-resolved experiment at ze…
