The valley pseudospin is a degree of freedom that emerges in atomically thin two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (MX2). The capability to manipulate it, in analogy to the control of spin in spintronics, can open up exciting opportunities. Here, we demonstrate that an ultrafast and ultrahigh valley pseudo-magnetic field can be generated by using circularly polarized femtosecond pulses to selectively control the valley degree of freedom in monolayer MX2.Using ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy, we observed a pure and valley-selective optical Stark effect in WSe2monolayers from the nonresonant pump, resulting in an energy splitting of more than 10 milli–electron volts between the K and K′ valley exciton transitions. Our study opens up the possibility to coherently manipulate the valley polarization for quantum information applications.

AbstractBenefiting from strong photon–exciton and phonon–exciton interactions in atomic thickness, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are viewed as one promising platform for exploring elementary excitonic photoluminescence (PL) and intrinsic spin–valley properties at the monolayer limit. Despite well-studied Stokes downconversion (DC) PL, the anti-Stokes upconversion (UC) PL has been recently reported in TMDC monolayers, which mainly focus on UC mechanisms while detailed valley-related dynamical processes are unwittingly less concerned. Here, we carry out an in-depth investigation on both DC and UC emission features of monolayer WS2 at room temperature, where UC PL persists with energy gain up to 190 meV. The PL excitation and power-dependent experiments clearly distinguish the origins of DC PL and UC PL, which refer to saturated absorption and phonon-assisted transition from charged trions to neutral A-excitons. And contrast valley properties are observed in DC and UC scenarios with polarization-resolved PL and pump–probe measurements. According to the experimental facts, phenomenological dynamical DC and UC scenarios are modeled with intervalley depolarization taken into consideration, in which intermediates from spontaneous intervalley depolarization account for the observed emission and valley properties. This work can help understand the light–matter interactions and valley properties in monolayer TMDCs.

The reduction of intrinsic defects, including vacancies and grain boundaries, remains one of the greatest challenges to produce high-performance transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) electronic systems. A deeper comprehension of the...
