Exciton-exciton annihilation in MoSe2 monolayers
We investigate the excitonic dynamics in MoSe2 monolayer and bulk samples by
femtosecond transient absorption microscopy. Excitons are resonantly injected
by a 750-nm and 100-fs laser pulse, and are detected by a probe pulse tuned in
the range of 790 - 820 nm. We observe a strong density-dependent initial decay
of the exciton population in monolayers, which can be well described by the
exciton-exciton annihilation. Such a feature is not observed in the bulk under
comparable conditions. We also observe the saturated absorption induced by
exciton phase-space filling in both monolayers and the bulk, which indicates
their potential applications as saturable absorbers.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
