Zeeman Splitting and Inverted Polarization of Biexciton Emission in Monolayer WS2

We investigate 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 $-3.89$, 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 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.
