Defect-mediated carrier dynamics and third-order nonlinear optical response of WS2 quantum dots Riyanka Karmakar, Dipendranath Mandal, Megha Shrivastava, K. V. Adarsh Optics Letters, 2022 In this Letter, we report the third-order absorptive and refractive nonlinear optical response of highly luminescent WS2 quantum dots (QDs) in the off-resonant femtosecond and nanosecond pulses, which is beneficial for optical limiting and quantum information processing. For 800 nm femtosecond excitation, QDs show two-photon absorption (β = (107 ± 2)×10−3 cm/GW) with positive nonlinearity originating from bound carriers. This picture changes significantly for 532 nm nanosecond excitation, where it shows reverse saturable absorption with negative nonlinearity primarily originating from the sequential absorption of two single photons through the shallow defects, creating free carriers. Our results provide a promising route toward low-dimensional optoelectronic devices.

Trapped carrier hopping and unusual bottleneck in coalescence dynamics of MoS2few layers Riyanka Karmakar, Pravrati Taank, K. V. Adarsh Aip Conference Proceedings, 2021 Unravelling the qualitative descriptions of ultrafast energy relaxation dynamics in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) is very important for the fundamental understanding of the nature of photoexcited carriers. Herein, we discuss the temporal evolution of B-exciton dynamics of colloidal MoS2 few layers by using femtosecond transient pump-probe absorption spectroscopy. We observe trapped carrier hopping and bimolecular recombination, which is portrayed as phonon-assisted coalescence through indirect bandgap at lower carrier-density and an unconventional bottleneck in decay kinetics above a critical density (⁓ 40 × 1013 cm-2). Also, we propose a new model describing the mechanistic origin of dynamical characterization of exciton relaxation with unprecedented carrier-densitydependent phenomena. This model is feasible to explain the physics behind the obscured nature of quenching of photoluminescence quantum yield of TMDCs and will provide powerful insight for fabricating defect-free optoelectronic devices in the near future.
