Cascaded emission of single photons from the biexciton in monolayered WSe2

Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides constitute an ideal platform to investigate solid state excitonic effects. Here, the authors provide experimental evidence of a localized biexciton in a monolayer of WSe2, which induces an emission cascade of single photons.
