Monolayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS2, WS2, MoSe2 and WSe2 have attracted considerable attention following the discovery of the indirect-to-direct bandgap transition from bulk to monolayer material and the coupling of spin and valley degrees of freedom in atomically thin layers. An important characteristic of these compounds is the strong spin-orbit interaction, which leads to a splitting between dark and bright exciton sub-bands. A detailed understanding of dark and bright exciton dynamics and non-radiative processes is important for light emitting applications as has been demonstrated in other systems such as phosphorescent organic light emitting diodes. We measure time-integrated and -resolved PL in monolayers of MoSe2 and WSe2 in a wide range of temperatures from 10 to 300K and gain insights into the exciton and trion dynamics. Our study reveals similar carrier dynamics for both materials, whereas pronounced differences have been observed for the overall PL intensities.
