We have systematically examined the circular polarization of monolayer WSe2 at different temperature, excitation energy and exciton density. The valley depolarization in WSe2 is experimentally confirmed to be governed by the intervalley electron-hole exchange interaction. More importantly, a non-monotonic dependence of valley circular polarization on the excitation power density has been observ...

متن کاملOptically initialized robust valley-polarized holes in monolayer WSe2
A robust valley polarization is a key prerequisite for exploiting valley pseudospin to carry information in next-generation electronics and optoelectronics. Although monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides with inherent spin-valley coupling offer a unique platform to develop such valleytronic devices, the anticipated long-lived valley pseudospin has not been observed yet. Here we demonstrate...
متن کاملOptical generation of excitonic valley coherence in monolayer WSe<sub>2</sub>
As a consequence of degeneracies arising from crystal symmetries, it is possible for electron states at band-edges (‘valleys’) to have additional spin-like quantum numbers1–6. An important question is whether coherent manipulation can be performed on such valley pseudospins, analogous to that implemented using true spin, in the quest for quantum technologies7,8. Here, we show that valley cohere...
