Lecture abstract:
The capability of initializing and controlling a population of spin-polarized carriers is an essential prerequisite for the use of semiconductor materials in spintronic and opto-spintronic applications. During this talk, I will discuss how magnetic fields can be used to access the intervalley dynamics and control the valley polarization of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers and heterobilayers. Subsequently, we will show how a WSe2 monolayer can be used to “sensitize” the circular polarization of the interlayer exciton in a WSe2/2D perovskite heterostructure.
