Vallytronics and excitonics in 2D materials

Two-dimensional (2D) transion metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) realize exceptional exciton dynamics with the new quantum index, valley index. Prof. Heinz group is one of the pioneering groups to realize the valley polarized excitons in 2D TMDC monolayers and has recently explored a whole range of physical properties of excitons in 2D TMDCs and their heterostructures.
