Temperature dependent moiré trapping of interlayer excitons in MoSe2-WSe2 heterostructures

Abstract MoSe2–WSe2 heterostructures host strongly bound interlayer excitons (IXs), which exhibit bright photoluminescence (PL) when the twist angle is near 0° or 60°. Over the past several years, there have been numerous reports on the optical response of these heterostructures but no unifying mode...
