Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers based on become a promising platform to study photonics and optoelectronics. Electrically controlling the excitonic properties of TMD monolayers can be realized in different devices. In this work, we realize the strong coupling between the excitons of WS$_2$ monolayers and a photonic cavity mode in a liquid crystal microcavity. The formed exciton polaritons can be electrically tuned by applying voltage to the microcavity. Our work offers a way to study exciton-polariton manipulation based on TMD monolayers by electrical methods at room temperature.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
