Abstract
We investigated the valley Zeeman splitting of excitonic peaks in the microphotoluminescence (μPL) spectra of high-quality hBN/WS2/MoSe2/hBN heterostructures under perpendicular magnetic fields up to 20 T. We identify two neutral exciton peaks in the μPL spectra; the lower-energy peak exhibits a reduced g-factor relative to that of the higher energy peak and much lower than the recently reported values for interlayer excitons in other van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures. We provide evidence that such a discernible g-factor stems from the spatial confinement of the exciton in the potential landscape created by the moiré pattern due to lattice mismatch or interlayer twist in heterobilayers. This renders magneto-μPL an important tool to reach a deeper understanding of the effect of moiré patterns on excitonic confinement in vdW heterostructures.
