Abstract
We show that dark excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can be controlled for optoelectronic applications. We report on the experimental observation of intervalley momentum-forbidden KΛ excitons. We show evidence that their formation and emission is related to compressive strain that activates a phonon-assisted intervalley scattering process that can be used as an ultrasensitive optical strain sensing mechanism. We also report on the repulsion-driven propagation of dark spin-forbidden excitons that, due to their permanent dipole, can travel for several microns. The unusual large distance covered by these exotic excitonic states can be further used for propagating valley and spin information across TMD samples, enabling several optoelectronic applications.
