In the recent years, research on two-dimensional materials has been a rapidly expanding field. Among these materials, a promising class are the transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). Besides very interesting physics of monolayers, such as spin-valley locking, these TMDCs can be combined to heterostructures, revealing new excitonic properties.
Here, we study MoSe2-WSe2 heterostructures, which create a staggered band alignment so that optically excited electron-hole pairs are spatially separated, leading to the formation of interlayer excitons (IEXs). In magnetic fields of up to 30 Tesla, we observe a giant valley-selective splitting in low-temperature photoluminescence measurements and a resulting near-unity valley polarization. Furthermore, we probe the valley dynamics of the IEX in dependence of the magnetic field. We are able to observe the build-up of the valley polarization after unpolarized excitation, revealing different dynamics and lifetimes for the different valleys.
