Here, we investigate a monolayer of tungsten disulphide in high magnetic fields up to 30\\,T via photoluminescence spectroscopy at low temperatures. The valley degeneracy is lifted for all optical features, particularly for excitons, singlet and triplet trions, for which we determine the g factor separately. While the observation of a diamagnetic shift of the exciton and trion resonances gives us insight into the real-space extension of these quasiparticles, magnetic field induced valley polarization effects shed light onto the exciton and trion dispersion relations in reciprocal space. The field dependence of the trion valley polarizations is in line with the predicted trion splitting into singlet and triplet configurations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-09T12:55:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "high magnetic fields", "excitonic valley effects", "monolayer ws", "induced valley polarization effects", "polarization effects shed light" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "ACS" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
