Stark Effect and Valley Polarization of Interlayer Excitons in 3∘ Twisted Bilayer WSe2

Twist-angle engineering in van der Waals bilayers enables excitonic and valley phenomena that are not accessible in naturally stacked crystals. In a dual-gated 3∘ twisted bilayer WSe2 device, low-temperature polarization-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy reveals a pronounced Stark shift of the interlayer exciton, yielding an effective electron–hole separation of 0.26 nm and indicating a strongly hybridized interlayer excitonic state. The degree of circular polarization (DOCP) is strongly doping-dependent but only weakly affected by the vertical electric field: at zero magnetic field, the DOCP is about 30% in the electron-doped regime and about 18% in the hole-doped regime. An out-of-plane magnetic field of 9 T sharpens this contrast to about 35% and 13%, respectively, suggesting distinct intervalley depolarization dynamics in the two doping regimes. Together, these results show that an electric field primarily tunes exciton energy, whereas doping and a magnetic field control valley polarization, highlighting small-angle twisted bilayer WSe2 as a promising platform for tunable excitonic and valley-optoelectronic functionalities.
