Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides are potential candidates for photonic devices but improvement in photocarrier dynamics, such as the lifetime of excitons, are first required. Using a mixture of simulation and spectroscopy the authors demonstrate that the interface between a monolayer and substrate can be used to tune exciton relaxation times in MoSe2.
