Abstract

We investigate valley exciton dynamics in MoSe₂ monolayers in polarization- and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy at 4 K. Following circularly polarized laser excitation, we record a low circular polarization degree of the PL of typically ≤5%. This is about 10 times lower than the polarization induced under comparable conditions in MoS₂ and WSe₂ monolayers. The evolution of the exciton polarization as a function of excitation laser energy and power is monitored in PL excitation experiments. Fast PL emission times are recorded for both the neutral exciton of ≤3 ps and for the charged exciton (trion) of 12 ps.
