Fine-tuning biexcitons-plasmon coherent states in a single nanocavity.

A tunable plexcitonic material that sustains multimode hybridization is highly desirable, which is vital for advanced quantum devices. However, the research about regulations of biexcitons-plasmon coherent states has rarely been reported. Here we apply single-nanoparticle scattering spectroscopy correlative with SEM imaging to identify biexcitons-plasmon interaction in a metal-semiconductor hybrid structure composed of a single Au@Ag nanoparticle, J-aggregates molecules and tungsten disulfide (WS) monolayer. The mode competition within the localized plasmonic hotspots (∼240 nm) is revealed by continuously regulating the J-aggregates spacer. Two distinct anticrossings are observed at both excitons resonances, and large double Rabi splittings (137 meV and 124 meV) are obtained successfully. We establish experimentally that J-aggregates and WS monolayer are responsible for the middle polariton states, while plasmon rarely contributes. Further calculations show that plasmonic nanocavity enables coherent energy exchange with different excitons by providing a highly enhanced localized E-field. In addition, we find that the multimode coupling strengths can be efficiently tuned by changing the cavity morphology and environment temperature, where the tuning spectral accuracy can reach up to 1 nm. Our findings uncover the distinctive properties of biexcitons-plasmon polaritons, suggest an easily obtainable multiqubit states platform, and open up a new way to construct nanoscale photonic devices.
