Rydberg series of dark excitons and the conduction band spin-orbit splitting in monolayer WSe2

Excitonic physics dominates the optical response of semiconductor monolayers but single particle band structure parameters are hard to probe experimentally. Here, spin-orbit splitting in the conduction band of monolayer WSe2 is revealed by the identification of the Rydberg series of dark excitons.
