Using two-dimensional hyperspectral photoluminescence mapping at cryogenic temperatures we identify regions with increased emission from charged excitons associated with both spin-orbit split valence subbands. Such regions are attributed to unintentional doping at defect sites with excess charge that bind neutral excitons to form defect-pinned trions. Our findings imply comparable timescales for the formation, relaxation, and radiative decay of $B$ trions, and add defect-localized $A$ and $B$ trions to the realm of photoexcited quasiparticles in layered semiconductors.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-02-19T03:09:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "monolayer molybdenum disulfide", "defect-localized charged excitons", "study spatial photoluminescence characteristics", "spin-orbit split valence subbands", "signatures" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
