Abstract
In monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, tightly bound excitons have been discovered with a valley pseudospin optically addressable through polarization selection rules. Here, we show that this valley pseudospin is strongly coupled to the exciton centre-of-mass motion through electron-hole exchange. This coupling realizes a massless Dirac cone with chirality index I=2 for excitons inside the light cone, that is, bright excitons. Under moderate strain, the I=2 Dirac cone splits into two degenerate I=1 Dirac cones, and saddle points with a linear Dirac spectrum emerge. After binding an extra electron, the charged exciton becomes a massive Dirac particle associated with a large valley Hall effect protected from intervalley scattering. Our results point to unique opportunities to study Dirac physics, with exciton’s optical addressability at specifiable momentum, energy and pseudospin. The strain-tunable valley-orbit coupling also implies new structures of exciton condensates, new functionalities of excitonic circuits and mechanical control of valley pseudospin.

Introduction
The strong coupling of an internal degree of freedom with motion can give rise to quasiparticles with radically new behaviours. A seminal example is the Dirac cones in graphene and topological insulators where low-energy carriers are found with linear dispersion and spin-momentum locking1,2,3,4. These massless Dirac fermions are drawing great interest for their scientific and technological importance. Besides the Dirac cone, other band geometries exhibiting a linearly dispersing Dirac spectrum are being discovered including the Dirac circle and Dirac arc5, the Dirac node6, the anisotropic Dirac cone7 and the three-dimensional Dirac point8. The interest on Dirac particles also drives the extensive efforts to realize Dirac spectra by engineering artificial honeycomb lattices of electrons, atoms and photons9,10,11.
An exciton is a composite particle comprising of an electron and a hole in hydrogen-like bound state, which plays key roles in optoelectronic phenomena and applications. An exciton can be interconverted with a photon under the constraint of energy–momentum conservation. In two-dimensional (2D) systems, this coupling to photons makes possible the optical preparation of exciton at any specified energy (E) and wavevector (k) on its dispersion in the light cone (the conical region defined by E≥ħc|k|), as well as the optical detection for mapping out the distribution of such bright excitons in energy–momentum space10,11. In semiconductors, the bright excitons can have lifetimes long enough to allow for the formation of an exciton condensate12,13, and controlled flow in an integrated excitonic circuit14.
Monolayer group-VIB transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) offer a new 2D material system to explore exciton physics. These are direct bandgap semiconductors, with the conduction and valence band edges at the doubly degenerate corners (±K points) of the hexagonal Brillouin zone15,16. The bright exciton thus has two valley pseudospin configurations where the electron and hole are both confined at either the K or −K valley17. An optical selection rule dictates that an exciton in these two valley states couples respectively to a σ+ or σ− circularly polarized photon only18, which makes possible optical generation of excitonic valley polarization and coherence as demonstrated recently19,20,21,22. Moreover, the Coulomb interaction between the electron and hole is exceptionally strong due to their heavy masses and the 2D confinement. Sharp exciton and trion resonances are seen in the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum with a charging energy of ∼30 meV (refs 22, 23, 24), compatible with the exciton binding energy of ∼0.5–1 eV from ab initio calculations17,25,26,27,28.
Here we show that in monolayer TMDC, the pronounced electron-hole Coulomb exchange in exciton realizes a strong valley-orbital coupling that can be orders of magnitude larger than the radiative recombination and momentum scattering rates. In such a strong coupling regime, the pseudospin splitting from the valley-orbit coupling becomes spectrally resolvable. A bright exciton in the light cone thus behaves like a massless Dirac particle, where the in-plane rotation symmetry dictates that it must have chirality index (I) of 2 (that is, the valley pseudospin rotates 4π when momentum circles the Dirac point once), distinct from all known Dirac particles. Moderate tensile strain can realize a sizable in-plane Zeeman field on the exciton valley pseudospin, which splits the I=2 Dirac cone into two degenerate I=1 cones centred at opposite momentums. Consequently, a new type of band geometry, the linearly dispersing Dirac saddle points, emerges in the light cone. When the exciton binds an electron to form a trion, the exchange interaction with the excess electron opens up a gap at the Dirac point, turning the trion into a massive Dirac particle associated with a large valley Hall effect protected from intervalley scattering.
Results
Massless Dirac cone of bright exciton
The bright exciton X0 in the two valley configurations is schematically shown in Fig. 1a. The valence band has a large valley-dependent spin splitting of ∼150–450 meV (refs 18, 29). The spin index of the band edge hole states are therefore locked with the valley index, that is, K (−K) valley has spin up (down) states only. Spin is unchanged by the optical transition, leaving only two possible configurations for bright exciton. We use to denote the exciton valley pseudospin, where pseudospin-up (down) corresponds to X0 at the K (−K) valley that couples to a σ+ (σ−) photon only. X0 with an in-plane pseudospin, that is, a superposition of the two valley configurations, then couples to a linearly polarized photon.
The Coulomb exchange interaction between the electron and hole of X0 will couple its two valley configurations, giving rise to an effective interaction between the exciton’s centre-of-mass momentum k=(k cos θ, k sin θ) and its valley pseudospin (see Supplementary Note 1). The valley-orbit coupling is of the form: J(k)=j(k)e−2iθ, where the strength of the coupling . Here, a is the lattice constant, Eg the bandgap and t is the nearest neighbour hopping integral in the monolayer TMDCs18. V(k) is the Fourier transform of the Coulomb interaction, and is the wavefunction of the electron-hole relative motion. thus corresponds to the probability of finding the electron and hole spatially overlapped. where aB is the Bohr radius.
By this effective valley-orbit coupling, the exciton dispersion splits into two branches with energies (see Fig. 1b), where ħω0, the exciton energy at k=0, is about 2 eV (refs 22, 23, 24), and M0, the exciton mass, is about the same as the free electron mass. Each branch has a I=2, that is, the valley pseudospin lies in the plane and rotates twice when the momentum undergoes one full circle around k=0. This pseudospin chirality is dictated by the in-plane rotation symmetry of the lattice and the optical polarization selection rule associated with the exciton valley pseudospin. A photon emitted by the upper (lower) branch is linearly polarized with the projection of the polarization vector in the 2D plane being longitudinal (transverse) to the momentum k. Such a longitudinal-transverse splitting is known in GaAs quantum wells30, where it can give rise to exciton spin relaxation31 and the optical spin Hall effect32. However, two features distinguish this effect in monolayer TMDCs. First, the exciton eigenstates are now coherent superpositions at two well-separated valleys in momentum space, where the splitting corresponds to a Rabi oscillation between the two valleys. Second, the magnitude of the splitting can be orders larger in TMDC monolayers than that in a GaAs quantum well, due to the much stronger Coulomb binding (represented by ) (refs 23, 24, 25).
The Coulomb interaction in an intrinsic 2D semiconductor is of the unscreened form: (ref. 30). Thus, the valley-orbit coupling strength scales linearly with the momentum k: , where . is the distance from the ±K points to the Γ point of the Brillouin zone. We note that corresponds to the exciton binding energy which in monolayer TMDCs is ∼0.5–1 eV (refs 17, 23, 24, 25), more than one order of magnitude larger than that in GaAs quantum wells. Ab initio calculations also find the exciton Bohr radius aB∼1 nm (refs 17, 24, 25, 33), one order of magnitude smaller than that in GaAs. Thus, the splitting in monolayer TMDCs is two orders of magnitude stronger than that in GaAs quantum wells. With the parameters a, Eg and t from band structure calculations18, we estimate J∼1 eV.
Because of the strong valley-orbit coupling, the energy minimum of the exciton dispersion appears on a ring with radius kmin∼0.05 K, which is outside the light cone defined by |k|≤ω0/c∼10−3 K (c.f. Fig. 1b). At the light cone edge, the valley pseudospin splitting , well exceeding the exciton’s radiative decay rate and momentum scattering rate expected in clean samples at low temperature13,19,34. Thus, in the light cone, the exciton has a conical dispersion that can be spectrally resolved. The bright exciton behaves effectively like a massless Dirac particle, with an I=2 and a group velocity J/ħK∼105 m s−1. These are in sharp contrast to GaAs quantum wells, where the longitudinal-transverse splitting cannot be spectrally resolved30,31.
The optical addressability of bright excitons provides unique opportunities to investigate Dirac particles. As an example, Fig. 1c schematically illustrates a setup for the direct observation of spin-momentum locking of massless Dirac particle. Using laser pulses with a narrow frequency and diffraction-limited beam spot, we can resonantly excite excitons, selectively on an energy contour in the upper or lower branch of the Dirac cone. By using linearly polarized excitation22, the population distribution of injected excitons is anisotropic in momentum space with the angular dependence of ∝ cos2 θ (∝ sin2 θ) if the upper (lower) branch is on resonance (c.f. Fig. 1c). Ballistic propagation will convert this angular distribution in momentum space into the same angular distribution in real space, which may be observed from the spatial map of the PL.
Effects of strain on bright exciton and the Dirac saddle points
The electron-hole exchange also realizes the coupling between exciton valley pseudospin and mechanical strain. Due to rotational symmetry of the monolayer TMDCs, the valley pseudospin splitting must vanish at k=0. However, an in-plane uniaxial tensile strain35,36,37 that breaks the rotational symmetry can introduce a finite splitting at k=0. Our ab initio calculation on monolayer WSe2 shows that the strain realizes an in-plane Zeeman field on the valley pseudospin (see Supplementary Note 2), and the exciton Hamiltonian becomes
For strain applied along the armchair (x) and zigzag (y) directions (see Fig. 2), we find J0 along the positive x-axis and the negative x-axis respectively. Its magnitude as function of the strain strength is shown in Fig. 2c. A moderate strain of 1% can already induce a valley pseudospin splitting of ∼12 meV, spectrally resolvable with existing sample qualities22.
The strain effect makes possible a controllable way to coherently rotate the exciton valley pseudospin at k=0. An even more interesting consequence is the Dirac cone with I=2 now splits into two Dirac cones with I=1 each, as shown in Fig. 2. From equation (1), the two new Dirac points are , θ0 being the direction angle of J0. With a strain of 1%, both new Dirac points are well outside the light cone. The two new Dirac cones are anisotropic, with the velocity in the armchair direction being half of that in the zigzag direction. In the light cone, the two Dirac cones merge in the form of saddle points in both the upper and lower branches of the dispersion. Remarkably, the saddle points are linearly dispersed along all directions. Such Dirac type saddle points are unique to excitons in monolayer TMDCs and have not been discussed in any system. This is a generic consequence when a Dirac cone of I=2 is subject to an in-plane Zeeman field on the pseudospin.
Gapped Dirac cone and valley Hall effect of negative trion
Now we turn to negatively charged trion X– where an electron-hole pair binds an excess electron. Interestingly, the Coulomb exchange with the excess electron opens up a gap at the excitonic Dirac point, turning trion into a massive Dirac particle associated with a large Berry curvature. We note that conduction band edges in the ±K valleys also feature a valley-dependent spin splitting. The size of the splitting ranges from several to several tens of meV, and there is an overall sign difference between molybdenum dichalcogenides and tungsten dichalcogenides29. Below, we consider monolayer WX2 (X=S, Se) only, where the spin splitting ∼30 meV and the spin configurations of the conduction band edges in the ±K valleys are schematically shown in Fig. 1a. X– has four ground state configurations that can recombine to emit photon, as shown in Fig. 3a. With the ∼30 meV conduction band spin splitting, the excess electron is in the lowest energy band where optical transition to the valence band edge is spin forbidden. With the excess electron in the K (−K) valley, X– has the centre-of-mass wavevector qX−≡K+k (qX−≡−K+k). In principle, X– with any k can recombine as the recoil of the excess electron can facilitate the momentum conservation, but the recombination rate decays here as ∼exp(−k2/(0.01 K)2),24 which we define as the trion brightness. Trion emission is thus expected mainly in the region k≲0.01 K.
The four X– configurations can be distinguished by : the valley index of the electron-hole pair that can recombine, and : the spin index of the excess electron. The former is associated with the circular polarization of the emitted photon. Like X0, the exchange interaction between the pair of electron and hole in the same valley with opposite spin will couple the two valley configurations with identical . Due to the rotational symmetry of the lattice, the coupling is still of the form , where k=(k cos θ, k sin θ). The coupling strength J is about the same to that in the X0 case. In addition, there is also exchange interaction between the excess electron with the electron-hole pair (Fig. 3), which only affects the two X– configurations where and have the same sign (first and third one in Fig. 3a) and raises their energy by an amount estimated to be δ∼6 meV (see Supplementary Note 3)22. The X– Hamiltonian is written
The exchange interaction of the electron-hole pair with the excess electron thus acts as a Zeeman field (with sign dependence on ) on the valley pseudospin , which opens up a finite gap at the two Dirac points qX−≡±K. X– therefore behaves like a massive Dirac fermion in the bright regions in the neighbourhood of the Dirac points (c.f. Fig. 3b).
The gap opening of the Dirac cone gives rise to a large Berry curvature with a peak value ∼104 Å2 in the neighbourhood of qX−≡±K, three orders of magnitude larger than that of the band edge electron in monolayer TMDCs18. In an in-plane electric field, X– as a charged particle will acquire a transverse velocity proportional to the Berry curvature, that is, a Hall effect. Near the Dirac points where the curvature has large value, the trion eigenstates have , hence the photon emission is circularly polarized. We note that the sign of the Berry curvature is independent of , but is correlated with the polarization of the emitted photon. The two X– configurations that will emit σ+ (σ−) photon will move towards the right (left) edge of the system (c.f. Fig. 3a). This trion valley Hall effect may be detected by the spatially and polarization resolved PL. Typically, scattering between the states with opposite Berry curvature will suppress the Hall effect. Remarkably, such scattering is inefficient here as it requires intervalley flips of two or three electrons/holes (c.f. Fig. 3a), and thus the valley Hall effect of X– trion is protected.
Discussion
The excitonic Dirac spectrum in the light cone can be mapped out by the angular resolved PL. To resolve the k-dependent splitting, a PL linewidth of about 1 meV is desirable. In monolayer MoSe2 and WSe2, PL linewidth of about 5 meV has been measured at low temperature22,24. Given the much smaller radiative decay rate19,34, the measured linewidth is likely broadened due to inhomogeneous broadening and defect assisted emission31, and such limiting factors can be removed in cleaner systems on better substrates. Some of the predicted effects may be already observable. For example, under modest strain of 1–2%, the splitting between the two saddle points (c.f. Fig. 2) is already larger than the measured linewidth22,24. And for X–, the gap at the Dirac point opened by the exchange coupling is also comparable to the PL linewidth.
Electrostatic screening may modify the Dirac spectrum of exciton in monolayer TMDCs. In two dimensions, the Thomas–Fermi screened Coulomb potential is of the form , where kTF is the screening wavevector. From the form of the valley-orbit coupling, it is clear that a finite screening will turn the dispersion of neutral exciton X0 from linear to quadratic in a region of size kTF around the Dirac point, while the I remains unchanged. Figure 4a shows the X0 dispersions in the light cone under different values of kTF. We consider here the regime of low doping density and relatively high temperature, where kTF is small and depends on the doping and temperature38,39. For kTF ≪ω0/c, X0 behaves like a massless chiral particle, while for kTF≥ω0/c, it will gradually cross to a massive chiral particle like the low-energy electrons in bilayer graphene. We estimate that kTF=ω0/c corresponds to a doping density of 1010 cm−2 at a temperature of ∼30 K. Under the tensile strain, the spectrum will always split into two I=1 massless Dirac cones regardless of the value of kTF (c.f. Fig. 4c). Nevertheless, kTF determines the dispersion of the saddle points where the two massless Dirac cones merge. The saddle point dispersion is linear for kTF ≪ω0/c. For the negatively charged trion X–, we find the screening can induce a hole in the Berry curvature distribution at the Dirac point, while the peak value of the curvature remains the same order of magnitude for kTF≤10ω0/c (c.f. Fig. 4b).
To summarize, in monolayer TMDCs, the pronounced Coulomb exchange interaction gives rise to strong valley-orbit coupling for the neutral exciton X0 and the negatively charged trion X–. In the bright regions of the momentum space where radiative recombination can occur, these excitons offer a new venue to explore the physics of massless and massive Dirac particles. Remarkably, the energy and momentum conservation of exciton–photon interconversion allows excitons to be selectively addressed in the light cone at any specified momentum and energy, through the control of laser frequency and propagation direction. The valley optical selection rule in monolayer TMDCs also allows the optical preparation and detection of excitonic valley pseudospin19,20,21,22. These features of the exciton system in monolayer TMDCs makes possible unique opportunities to observe behaviours of Dirac particles, as compared to the electronic counterparts. Moreover, the large strain-tunable valley-orbit coupling makes monolayer TMDCs an extremely interesting playground to explore novel optoelectronic applications such as the excitonic circuit14 and exotic quantum phenomena such as exciton condensation12,13. The ring geometry of the energy minimum and the pseudospin texture will likely lead to new structures of exciton condensates in monolayer TMDCs.
