Interlayer excitons (IXs) possess a much longer lifetime than intralayer excitons due to the
spatial separation of the electrons and holes, and hence they have been pursued to create
exciton condensates for decades. The recent emergence of 2D materials, such as transition-
metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and of their van der Waals heterostructures, in which two
different 2D materials are layered together, has created new opportunities to study IXs. Here

Interlayer excitons (IXs) possess a much longer lifetime than intralayer excitons due to the spatial separation of the electrons and holes, and hence they have been pursued to create exciton condensates for decades. The recent emergence of 2D materials, such as transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and of their van der Waals heterostructures, in which two different 2D materials are layered together, has created new opportunities to study IXs. Here we present the observation of IX gases within two stacked structures consisting of hBN/WSe2/hBN/p:WSe2/hBN. The IX energies of the two different structures differed by 82 meV due to the different thicknesses of the hexagonal boron nitride spacer layer between the TMD layers. We demonstrate that the lifetime of the IXs is shortened when the temperature and the pump power increase. We attribute this nonlinear behavior to an Auger process.
