Dark exciton anti-funneling in atomically thin semiconductors

Strain engineering can manipulate the propagation of excitons in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides. Here, the authors observe an anti-funnelling behavior, i.e., the exciton photoluminescence moves away from high-strain regions, and attribute it to the dominating role of propagating da...
