Nano-optical Visualization of Interlayer Interactions in WSe2/WS2 Heterostructures

Abstract: The interplay between excitons and phonons governs the optical and electronic properties of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Even though a number of linear and nonlinear optical-, electron-, and photoelectron-based approaches have been developed and/or adopted to characterize excitons and phonons in single/ few-layer TMDs and their heterostructures, no existing method is capable of directly probing ultralow-frequency and interlayer phonons on the nanoscale. To this end, we developed ultralow-frequency … Show more

“…Nanoscale modulation or confinement of the center of mass of interlayer excitons has been recently probed in momentum space by using ultrafast angle-resolved photoemission electron spectroscopy (ARPES) ( 12 ). Similarly, the coupling and decoupling of interlayer excitons and phonons was probed by means of ultralow-frequency tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy ( 13 ). A clear understanding of the degree of confinement of intralayer excitons as well as a measurement of the stacking at which the localization occurs has remained out of reach because of the diffraction limit of optical probes or the loss of phase information in ARPES.…”
