Counterdirectional Exciton and Trion Motion in Applied Electric Field

Charged excitonic complexes are central to the optoelectronic and many-body properties of semiconductors, yet their real-space transport dynamics remain largely unexplored. Here, we report the direct optical observation of trion motion under an applied electric field. The trions exhibit electrically driven drift with velocities approaching {$10^5~\mathrm{m/s}$}. Unexpectedly, the trion flow induces a pronounced back-action on coexisting neutral excitons, driving them in the opposite direction and giving rise to counterpropagating exciton-trion transport. Our results reveal an interaction-driven nonequilibrium transport regime of mixed excitonic fluids and establish a direct route for imaging the dynamics of more complex charged quasiparticles, including doubly charged excitons.
