In this talk, I will focus on discussing the excitonic properties of
these localized emitters from atomically thin TMDC-based structure. I
will start by presenting that a localized exciton in monolayer WSe2 can
carry a net charge and a resident spin. Subsequently, I will show our
experimental demonstration of optical initialization from the singly,
positively charged localized exciton2. Next, I will present our
experimental result obtained from a WSe2/MoSe2 heterobilayer. We
observed that the localized exciton displays a single permanent dipole,
which enables energy tunability by the application of out-of-plane
electric field. In addition, the repulsive dipole-dipole interaction
causes the second excitation to be blue-shifted, which is distinct from
the
conventional “biexciton” 3,4.
