Resolving the momentum degree of freedom excitons - electron-hole pairs bound by Coulomb attraction in a photoexcited semiconductor, has remained largely elusive goal for decades. In atomically thin semiconductors, such capability could probe forbidden dark excitons, which critically impact proposed opto-electronic technologies, but are not directly accessible via optical techniques. Here, we momentum-state WSe2 monolayer photoemitting their constituent electrons, and resolving them time,...

With rapidly growing photoconversion efficiencies, hybrid perovskite solar cells have emerged as promising contenders for next generation, low-cost photovoltaic technologies. Yet, the presence of nanoscale defect clusters, that form during fabrication process, remains critical to overall device operation, including efficiency and long-term stability. To successfully deploy perovskites, we must understand nature different types defects, assess their potentially varied roles in performance,...

Type-II heterostructures (HSs) are essential components of modern electronic and optoelectronic devices. Earlier studies have found that in type-II transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) HSs, the dominating carrier relaxation pathway is interlayer charge transfer (CT) mechanism. Here, this report shows that, a HS formed between monolayers MoSe2 ReS2, nonradiative energy (ET) from higher to lower work function material (ReS2 MoSe2) dominates over traditional CT process with without...

Inducing novel quantum phases and topologies in materials using intense light fields is a key objective of modern condensed matter physics, but nonetheless faces significant experimental challenges. Alternately, theory predicts that the dense limit, excitons - collective excitations composed Coulomb-bound electron-hole pairs could also drive exotic phenomena. However, direct observation these phenomena requires resolution electronic structure momentum space presence excitons, which became...

Floquet engineering, in which a temporal periodic drive breaks the continuous symmetry and dynamically engineers electronic structure, has attracted enormous attention condensed matter physics. However, only handful of studies have experimentally demonstrated effects driven by optical fields [5,6]. In this talk, we will discuss experimental observation Floquet-Bloch states induced excitons 2D semiconductors.

Interlayer excitons (ILXs) - electron-hole pairs bound across two atomically thin layered semiconductors have emerged as attractive platforms to study exciton condensation, single-photon emission and other quantum-information applications. Yet, despite extensive optical spectroscopic investigations, critical information about their size, valley configuration the influence of moiré potential remains unknown. Here, we captured images time- momentum-resolved distribution both electron hole that...

An exciton, a two-body composite quasiparticle formed of an electron and hole, is fundamental optical excitation in condensed-matter systems. Since its discovery nearly century ago, measurement the excitonic wavefunction has remained beyond experimental reach. Here, we directly image reciprocal space by measuring momentum distribution electrons photoemitted from excitons monolayer WSe2. By transforming to real space, obtain visual around hole exciton. Further, also resolving energy...
