| Abstract Scope |
Exciton in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals semiconductors has emerged as a prospective component for integrated optoelectronic circuits and interconnects working at room temperature. Strain is a key parameter that can guide exciton transport by creating lateral gradient of exciton energy. However, demonstration of this phenomenon has mostly been limited to spectroscopic interpretation within diffusion-limited length scale. Here, we report strain-induced exciton transport in monolayer WSe2 via pump-probe photoluminescence (PL) measurement. We employed wrinkle architecture to engineer reconfigurable local strain and optically resolvable strain gradient on WSe2. The pump-probe PL maps revealed that strain gradient can induce flux of high-energy excitons to the nearest energy minima up to 2.9 μm-away from pump point with high transport efficiency (>40%). We proposed exciton dynamics model in relation to local strain and strain gradient on WSe2. Our results provide a platform for strain-engineered 2D materials for mechanically reconfigurable optoelectronic circuits and straintronic devices. |
