摘要/Abstract

摘要： Semiconductor moiré superlattices provide great platforms for exploring exotic collective excitations. Optical Stark effect, a shift of the electronic transition in the presence of a light field, provides an ultrafast and coherent method of manipulating matter states, which, however, has not been demonstrated in moiré materials. Here, we report the valley-selective optical Stark effect of moiré excitons in the WSe$_{2}$/WS$_{2}$ superlattice by using transient reflection spectroscopy. Prominent valley-selective energy shifts up to 7.8 meV have been observed for moiré excitons, corresponding to pseudo-magnetic fields as large as 34 T. Our results provide a route to coherently manipulate exotic states in moiré superlattices.
