Hidden valley dynamics behind vanishing circular polarization in moir'e excitons

The study investigated why nearly zero steady-state valley polarization in moiré excitons doesn't mean fast valley relaxation. Time-resolved measurements show co- and cross-circularly polarized emission components coexist and compensate over time. This reveals that integrated circular polarization can falsely suggest no valley polarization when multiple helicity channels are present.
