Abstract
Drift-diffusion dynamics is investigated in a one-dimensional (1D) exciton guide at room temperature. Spatial engineering of the exciton energy in a WSe2 monolayer is achieved using local strain to confine and direct exciton transport. An unexpected and massive deviation from the Einstein relation is observed and correlated to exciton capture by defects. We find that the capture reduces exciton temperature and diffusion so much that drift transport visibility improves to 38% as excitons traverse asymmetrically over regions with occupied defect states. Based on measurements over multiple potential gradients, we estimate the exciton mobility to be 169 ± 39 cm2/(eV s) at room temperature. Experiments at elevated exciton densities reveal that the exciton drift velocity monotonically increases with exciton density, unlike exciton mobility, due to contributions from nonequilibrium many-body effects.
