Area of Science:

• Materials Science
• Condensed Matter Physics
• Nanotechnology

Background:

• Interlayer excitons in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers are crucial for optoelectronics.
• Current research focuses on geometric arrangements and spin-valley properties, often requiring complex fabrication.
• Interlayer exciton behavior is sensitive to atomic registry and coupling strength.

Purpose of the Study:

• To investigate interlayer exciton emission in 2D perovskite/monolayer TMD heterostructures.
• To demonstrate robust interlayer coupling independent of specific geometric arrangements or annealing.
• To explore the potential for optoelectronic and valleytronic applications.

Main Methods:

• Fabrication of 2D perovskite/monolayer TMD heterostructures.
• Photoluminescence spectroscopy at various temperatures and laser intensities.
• Circular polarization measurements in chiral heterostructures.

Main Results:

• Pronounced interlayer exciton emission observed generally in 2D perovskite/monolayer TMDs.
• Emission dominates the spectrum at 78 K, irrespective of stacking.
• Emission exhibits a blue-shift with increasing laser intensity and persists above 220 K.
• Robust circular polarization achieved in chiral 2D perovskite/WSe2 heterostructures.

Conclusions:

• 2D perovskite/monolayer TMD heterostructures provide a robust platform for studying interlayer coupling.
• The observed phenomena are suitable for developing novel optoelectronic and valleytronic devices.
• Findings pave the way for broader investigations into excitonic effects in van der Waals heterostructures.
