Abstract

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides bear great potential for photodetection and light harvesting due to high absorption coefficients. However, these applications require dissociation of strongly bound photogenerated excitons. The dissociation can be achieved by vertically stacking different monolayers to realize band alignment that favors interlayer charge transfer. In such heterostructures, the reported recombination times vary strongly, and the charge separation and recombination mechanisms remain elusive. We use two color pump-probe microscopy to demonstrate that the charge separation in a MoSe
