摘要:

单层过渡金属双硫族化合物(TMD)由于其二维性质和长的自旋/谷寿命而在未来的自旋电子学和谷电子学应用中具有巨大的潜力。我们调查的起源,这些长寿命的国家在n型WS 2使用时间分辨克尔旋转显微镜和光致发光显微镜与~1微米的空间分辨率。比较克尔旋转信号和光致发光的空间依赖性揭示了与中性激子发射的相关性,这可能是由于角动量转移到具有长自旋/谷寿命的居民传导电子。此外,我们观察到一个意想不到的克尔旋转和trion发射,这为长寿命的自旋/谷极化暗trions的存在提供了证据之间的关系。我们还发现,在WS 2的自旋/谷极化是强大的磁场高达700 mT,表明自旋和谷稳定与强大的自旋轨道场。

英文摘要:

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) have immense potential for future spintronic and valleytronic applications due to their two-dimensional nature and long spin/valley lifetimes. We investigate the origin of these long-lived states in n-type WS2 using time-resolved Kerr rotation microscopy and photoluminescence microscopy with ~1 micron spatial resolution. Comparing the spatial dependence of the Kerr rotation signal and the photoluminescence reveals a correlation with neutral exciton emission, which is likely due to the transfer of angular momentum to resident conduction electrons with long spin/valley lifetimes. In addition, we observe an unexpected anticorrelation between the Kerr rotation and trion emission, which provides evidence for the presence of long-lived spin/valley-polarized dark trions. We also find that the spin/valley polarization in WS2 is robust to magnetic fields up to 700 mT, indicative of spins and valleys that are stabilized with strong spin-orbit fields.
