Description:

(abstract)

The optically dark states play an important role in the electronic and optical properties of mono- layers (MLs) of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides. The effect of temperature on the in-plane-field activation of the neutral and charged dark excitons is investigated in a WSe2 ML encapsulated in hexagonal BN flakes. The brightening rates of the neutral dark (XD) and grey (XG) excitons and the negative dark trion (TD) differ substantially at a particular temperature, but more importantly they vanish considerably by almost 5 orders of magnitude with the temperature increased from 4.2 K to 100 K. The quenching of the dark-related emissions is accompanied by the two-order-of-magnitude enlargement of the neutral bright counterparts, i.e. neutral bright exciton (XB) and spin-singlet (TS) and spin-triplet (TT) negative trions, due to the thermal activations of dark states. Furthermore, the energy splittings between the dark XD and TD complexes and the corresponding bright XB, TS, and TT ones vary with temperature increases from 4.2 K to 100 K. This can be explained in terms of the different exciton-phonon couplings for the bright and dark excitons because of the different symmetry properties of such excitons.
