Abstract A robust valley polarization is a key prerequisite for exploiting valley pseudospin to carry information in next-generation electronics and optoelectronics. Although monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides with inherent spin–valley coupling offer a unique platform to develop such valleytronic devices, the anticipated long-lived valley pseudospin has not been observed yet. Here we demonstrate that robust valley-polarized holes in monolayer WSe2 can be initialized by optical pumping. Using time-resolved Kerr rotation spectroscopy, we observe a long-lived valley polarization for positive trion with a lifetime approaching 1 ns at low temperatures, which is much longer than the trion recombination lifetime (∼10–20 ps). The long-lived valley polarization arises from the transfer of valley pseudospin from photocarriers to resident holes in a specific valley. The optically initialized valley pseudospin of holes remains robust even at room temperature, which opens up the possibility to realize room-temperature valleytronics based on transition metal dichalcogenides.

The bright exciton propagation in monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) shows at low temperatures a shrinking of the spatial profile, i.e. negative effective diffusion due to intervalley scattering in the TMDs excitonic landscape.

Abstract. The negative expansion observed at low temperatures in specific crystallographic directions of complex structures with anisotropic interactions is explained by microscopic analysis within the tight-binding, quasi-harmonic approximation of lattice dynamics. The results agree with measurements on multilayer sandwiches of transition-metal dichalcogenides, high-temperature superconductors and relevant nanostructures including the carbon-based nanotubes.

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...
