Description:

(abstract)

We report experimental evidence of two fundamental biexciton complexes in insulated monolayer WSe2, namely the four-particle neutral biexciton and the five-particle negatively charged biexciton. We distinguish these states by power-dependent photoluminescence, and we demonstrate full switching between these two states by electrical control. We determine the original band states of the elementary particles comprising the biexcitons through magneto-optical spectroscopy. We also resolve a fine-structure splitting of 2.5 meV for the neutral biexciton emission, providing an essential reference for subsequent studies. Our results unveil the nature of the multi-particle exciton complexes in TMDs and offer direct routes to their deterministic control in many-body quantum phenomena.
