Zeeman Splitting and Inverted Polarization of Biexciton Emission in Monolayer WS_{2}.

Atomically thin semiconductors provide an ideal testbed to investigate the physics of Coulomb-bound many-body states. We shed light on the intricate structure of such complexes by studying the magnetic-field-induced splitting of biexcitons in monolayer WS_{2} using polarization-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy in out-of-plane magnetic fields up to 30 T. The observed g factor of the biexciton amounts to about -3.9, closely matching the g factor of the neutral exciton. The biexciton emission shows an inverted circular field-induced polarization upon linearly polarized excitation; i.e., it exhibits preferential emission from the high-energy peak in a magnetic field. This phenomenon is explained by taking into account the hybrid configuration of the biexciton constituents in momentum space and their respective energetic behavior in magnetic fields. Our findings reveal the critical role of dark excitons in the composition of this many-body state.
