Monolayer TMDCs are an ideal testbed to study the physics of quasiparticles in the two-dimensional limit. Besides excitons, more complex many-body states such as trions and biexcitons can emerge due to the strong Coulomb interaction in these materials. Here, we shed light on the intricate many-body physics of biexcitons in monolayer WS2 [1]. The encapsulation of the monolayer between two sheets of hBN significantly reduces the overall spectral broadening and allows us to observe biexciton emission with linewidths below 5 meV at 4 K. In magneto-PL experiments, we observe an inverted field-induced polarization, implying a preferential population of the high-energy peak in emission. We explain this unusual phenomenon by considering the evolution of the total energy of the biexciton complex in a magnetic field. Based on the experimental results and the developed model we are able to identify the momentum-space configuration of the optically dominant biexciton state of monolayer WS2.
