In these regards, we fabricated exciton transistor device prototypes based on bilayer WSe2 and MoSe2. We realized the Stark shift of interlayer exciton for both materials, which is essential for electrical control of excitonic device. Although we did not realize pinching down the exciton current due to the experimental challenges. By applying electric field we successfully tailored the interlayer exciton transitions and surprisingly we revealed rich exciton complexes and intra-interlayer exciton hybridization. With a Hanbury Brown and Twiss interferometer we conducted photon correlation measurement to study the dynamic evolution of the spin triplet as a function of exciton density and interpret the evolution as a result of dipolar interaction which is in contrast to bare Augur recombination, which is the case for intralayer excitons.
The results are of great significance to disparate scientific communities: condensed-matter, quantum optics, 2D materials, integrated electronic and photonic chips, etc. The knowledge of how to generate interlayer exciton and control their spatial wave functions and magnetic properties opens new technological possibilities which quantum engineers can take advantage of in future technologies. We also will widely disseminated our results and discoveries in high impact peer reviewed journals and top international conferences (APS March Meeting and Gordon Research Conference).
We also performed quantum optical characterization of the interlayer exciton trapped in moiré potential. We study the dynamic evolution of the spin triplet as a function of exciton density and interpret the evolution as a result of dipolar interaction, in contrast to bare Auger recombination, which is the case for intralayer exciton.
