This relies on a large valley polarization that remains stable over long time scales (hundreds of nanoseconds). However, time-resolved measurements report valley lifetimes of only a few picoseconds. This has been attributed to mechanisms such as phonon-mediated intervalley scattering and a precession of the valley pseudospin through electron-hole exchange. Here we use transient spin grating to directly measure the valley depolarization lifetime in monolayer MoSe2. We find a fast valley decay rate that scales linearly with the excitation density at different temperatures. This establishes the presence of strong exciton-exciton Coulomb exchange interactions enhancing the valley depolarization. Our work highlights the microscopic processes inhibiting the efficient use of the exciton valley pseudospin in monolayer TMDs. "}],"date_created":"2018-12-11T11:46:13Z","page":"223 - 228"}
