Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate the creation of defects in monolayer WSe2 via nanopillar imprinting and helium ion irradiation. Based on the first method, we realize atomically thin vertical tunneling light-emitting diodes based on WSe2 monolayers hosting quantum emitters at deterministically specified locations. We characterize these emitters by investigating the evolution of their emission spectra in external electric and magnetic fields, as well as by inducing electroluminescence at low temperatures. We identify qualitatively different types of quantum emitters and classify them according to the dominant electron-hole recombination paths, determined by the mechanisms of intervalley mixing occurring in fundamental conduction and/or valence subbands.
