Coupled spin-valley-dynamics in singlelayer transition metal dichalcogenides — •Gerd Plechinger, Nicola Paradiso, Philipp Nagler, Sven Gelfert, Christoph Strunk, Christian Schüller, and Tobias Korn — Institut für Experimentelle und Angewandte Physik, Universität Regensburg, 93040 Regensburg, Germany

Single layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) like MoS2 and WS2 can be produced by simple mechanical exfoliation. Offering a direct bandgap at the K-points in the Brillouin zone, they represent a promising semiconductor material for flexible and transparent optoelectronic applications. Due to inversion symmetry breaking together with strong spin-orbit-interaction, the valley and spin degrees of freedom are coupled in singlelayer TMDCs. Via circularly polarized optical excitation, an efficient polarization of the K+ or the K valley can be generated. Here, we optically investigate the dynamics of these coupled spin-valley polarizations in singlelayer MoS2 and singlelayer WS2 by means of time-resolved Kerr rotation (TRKR) and display the dependence of the spin lifetime on the temperature and the excitation energy. Moreover, we probe the influence of mild annealing on the lifetimes.
