Strained two-dimensional tungsten diselenide for mechanically tunable exciton transport by Jin Myung Kim, Kwang-Yong Jeong, Soyeong Kwon, Jae-Pil So, Michael Cai Wang, Peter Snapp, Hong-Gyu Park, SungWoo Nam

“…The controlled exciton transport in such excitonic devices requires manipulating potential energy gradient of charge-neutral excitons, while electrical gating or nanoscale straining have shown limited efficiency of exciton transport at room temperature. Here, we report strain gradient induced exciton transport in monolayer tungsten diselenide (WSe2) across microns at room temperature via steady-state pump-probe measurement. …”
