The emerging field of valleytronics aims to coherently manipulate an electron and/or hole's valley pseudospin as an information bearing degree of freedom (DOF). Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, due to their strongly bound excitons, their degenerate valleys and their seamless interfacing with photons are a promising candidate for room temperature valleytronics. Although the exciton binding energy suggests room temperature valley coherence should be possible, it has been elusive to-date ...[more]
