Valley Hall Effect

Monolayer (1L) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are attractive materials for several optoelectronic applications because of their strong excitonic resonances and valley-selective response. Valley excitons in 1L-TMDCs are formed at opposite points of the Brillouin zone boundary, giving rise to a valley degree of freedom that can be treated as a pseudospin, and may be used as a platform for information transport and processing. However, short valley depolarization times and relatively short exciton lifetimes at room temperature prevent using valley pseudospins in on-chip integrated valley devices. Recently, it was demonstrated how coupling these materials to optical nanoantennas and metasurfaces can overcome this obstacle. Here, we review the state-of-the-art advances in valley-selective directional emission and exciton sorting in 1L-TMDC mediated by nanostructures and nanoantennas. We briefly discuss the optical properties of 1L-TMDCs paying special attention to their photoluminescence/absorption spectra, dynamics of valley depolarization, and the valley Hall effect. Then, we review recent works on nanostructures for valley-selective directional emission from 1L-TMDCs.

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.

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.
