Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) have revealed many intriguing properties in recent years. For valleytronics especially, the coupling of spin and valley degree of freedom shows great promise. Combined with valley-selective optical selection rules, a chosen spin polarization can easily be introduced into these systems. Keeping possible future applications in mind, a long spin polarization lifetime is of great importance, yet in pristine monolayer TMDC this is strongly limited due to ultrafast exciton recombination and electron-hole exchange. Through two-color time-resolved Kerr rotation and ellipticity measurements we are able to study the spin-valley dynamics in n-doped MoSe2 and compare it to the undoped case. Here we observe a drastic lifetime increase from the order of pico to nanoseconds, significantly exceeding the lifetimes of excitons and trions. This can be attributed to a transfer of spin polarization to resident carriers [1]. Following a similar reasoning we investigate two-dimensional MoSe2/WSe2 heterostructures, electrons and holes are spatially separated. This in turn suppresses their radiative recombination as well as exchange interaction thus leading to an increase of spin polarization lifetime.
