Through photoluminescence spectroscopy, the interaction of excitons in monolayer WSe2 with the piezoelectric field of surface acoustic wave was investigated. A large exciton polarizability was reported, and it was shown that the interaction and population distribution between neutral excitons and trions can be optically manipulated. The results suggest potential applications in sensing, detection, and on-chip communication by controlling excitonic properties.
We investigate the interaction of excitons in monolayer WSe2 with the piezoelectric field of surface acoustic wave (SAW) at room temperature using photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and report a large in-plane exciton polarizability of 8.43 +/- 0.18 x 10(-6) Dm/V. Such large polarizability arises due to the strong dielectric screening from the piezoelectric substrate. In addition, we show that the exciton-piezoelectric field interaction and population distribution between neutral excitons and trions can be optically manipulated by controlling the field screening using photogenerated free carriers. Finally, we model the broadening of the exciton PL line width and report that the interaction is dominated by type-II band edge modulation, because of the in-plane electric field in the system. The results help understand the interaction of excitons in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides that will aid in controlled manipulation of excitonic properties for applications in sensing, detection, and on-chip communication.
