Unveiling Ultrafast Spin‐Valley Dynamics and Phonon‐Mediated Charge Transfer in MoSe2/WSe2 Heterostructures

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, Volume 13, Issue 8, March 13, 2025.
This study reveals the potential to manipulate spin‐valley polarization dynamics in MoSe2/WSe2 heterostructures by quantifying different scattering processes following selective photoexcitation. The results show that these heterostructures enable ultrafast valley‐selective charge transfer, with phonon scattering playing a significant role in the ...

Thickness Dependence of Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Multilayer 3R‐MoS2

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Thickness as a key design parameter for optimizing the nonlinear optical response of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) materials is established. The demonstrated correlation between thickness, linear spectra, and harmonic generation efficiency provides a powerful framework for tailoring nonlinear performance.
