54. The (Equation presented) (Equation presented)-exciton absorption shows two secondary peaks located 30 and 60 meV above the (Equation presented) main exciton peak, which correspond to enhanced PL when the laser energy corresponds to (Equation presented) and (Equation presented). Raman studies identified two optical phonon modes with energy of about (Equation presented) in WSe2 ML; see [35] for details [55,56].

59. In contrast to the coherent exciton alignment with the excitation laser polarization, the SHG emission as a function of the laser polarization angle is simply given by the underlying lattice symmetry [8-10]; see [35].

62. Note that the experiments on optical generation of excitonic valley coherence in ML (Equation presented) recently published [53] use a 1-photon laser energy which coincides exactly with the (Equation presented) exciton absorption identified in our work.
