摘要
Spatiotemporal dynamics of excitons in monolayer and bulk WS2 at room temperature is studied by transient absorption microscopy in the reflection geometry. Excitons are formed from photocarriers injected by a tightly focused 390 nm pump pulse, and monitored by detecting different reflection of a time-delayed and spatially scanned 620 nm probe pulse. We obtain exciton lifetimes of 22 +/- 1 and 110 +/- 10 ps in monolayer and bulk WS2, respectively. Both lifetimes are independent of the exciton density, showing the absence of multi-exciton recombination processes. Exciton diffusion coefficients of 60 +/- 20 and 3.5 +/- 0.5 cm(2) s(-1) are obtained in monolayer and bulk samples, respectively. These results provide a foundation for understanding excitons in this new material and its optoelectronic applications.
