Abstract
- We investigate the dynamical formation of excitons from photoexcited electron-hole plasma and its subsequent decay dynamics in monolayer MoS2 grown by chemical vapor deposition using ultrafast pump and terahertz probe spectroscopy. Different photoexcited electron-hole states are resolved based on their distinct responses to THz photon and decay lifetime. The observed transient THz transmission can be fit with two decay components: a fast component with decay lifetime of 20 ps, which is attributed to exciton life time including the exciton formation and subsequent intraexciton relaxation; a slow component with extremely long decay lifetime of several ns due to either localized exciton state or a long live dark exciton state which is uncovered for the first time. The relaxation dynamics is further verified by temperature and pump fluence dependent studies of the decay time constants.<br />Comment: 11 pages,4 figues
