Magnetic Control of Valley Pseudospin in Monolayer WSe2
read the original abstract
Local energy extrema of the bands in momentum space, or valleys, can endow electrons in solids with pseudo-spin in addition to real spin. In transition metal dichalcogenides this valley pseudo-spin, like real spin, is associated with a magnetic moment which underlies the valley-dependent circular dichroism that allows optical generation of valley polarization, intervalley quantum coherence, and the valley Hall effect. However, magnetic manipulation of valley pseudospin via this magnetic moment, analogous to what is possible with real spin, has not been shown before. Here we report observation of the valley Zeeman splitting and magnetic tuning of polarization and coherence of the excitonic valley pseudospin, by performing polarization-resolved magneto-photoluminescence on monolayer WSe2. Our measurements reveal both the atomic orbital and lattice contributions to the valley orbital magnetic moment; demonstrate the deviation of the band edges in the valleys from an exact massive Dirac fermion model; and reveal a striking difference between the magnetic responses of neutral and charged valley excitons which is explained by renormalization of the excitonic spectrum due to strong exchange interactions.

Unveiling the Spin-Valley Structure of Dipolar Exciton Ladders in R-stacked WSe$_2$/WS$_2$ Moir\'e Heterobilayers
Helicity-resolved magneto-photoluminescence reveals that the unequal spacing of the dipolar exciton ladder in R-stacked WSe₂/WS₂ arises from triplet and singlet spin-valley two-exciton states, not simple occupation-nu...
