Abstract

Momentum resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy was used to measure the dispersions of excitons in a free-standing monolayer of WSe2. Besides the parabolically dispersed valley excitons, a sub-gap dispersive exciton was observed at specific q values for the first time. The simultaneous STEM-ADF imaging of the local probed areas suggests that this sub-gap exciton is attributed to the prolific Se vacancies.
