Abstract: Because of the strong Coulomb interaction and quantum confinement effect, 2-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides possess a stable excitonic population. To realize excitonic device applications, such as excitonic circuits, switches, and transistors, it is of paramount importance for understanding the optical properties of transition metal dichalcogenides. Furthermore, the strong quantum confinement in 2-dimensional space introduces exotic properties, such as enhanced phonon bottlenecking effect, many-body interaction of excitons, and ultrafast nonequilibrium exciton–exciton annihilation. Exciton diffusion is the primary energy dissipation process and a working horse in excitonic devices. In this work, we investigated time-resolved exciton propagation in monolayer semiconductors of WSe2, MoWSe2, and MoSe2, with a home-built femtosecond pump-probe microscope. We observed ultrafast exciton expansion behavior with an equivalent diffusivity of up to 502 cm2 s−1 at the initial delay time, followed by a slow linear diffusive regime (20.9 cm2 s−1) in the monolayer WSe2. The fast expansion behavior is attributed to energetic carrier-dominated superdiffusive behavior. We found that in the monolayers MoWSe2 and MoSe2, the energetic carrier-induced exciton expansion is much more effective, with diffusivity up to 668 and 2295 cm2 s−1, respectively. However, the “cold” exciton transport is trap limited in MoWSe2 and MoSe2, leading to negative diffusion behavior at later time. Our findings are helpful to better understand the ultrafast nonlinear diffusive behavior in strongly quantum-confined systems. It may be harnessed to break the limit of conventional slow diffusion of excitons for advancing more efficient and ultrafast optoelectronic devices.
