Transport Study of Charge Carrier Scattering in Monolayer WSe$_2$

Employing flux-grown single crystal WSe$_2$, we report charge carrier scattering behaviors measured in $h$-BN encapsulated monolayer field effect transistors. We perform quantum transport measurements across various hole densities and temperatures and observe a non-monotonic change of transport mobility $\mu$ as a function of hole density in the degenerately doped sample. This unusual behavior can be explained by energy dependent scattering amplitude of strong defects calculated using the T-matrix approximation. Utilizing long mean-free path ($>$500 nm), we demonstrate the high quality of our electronic devices by showing quantized conductance steps from an electrostatically-defined quantum point contact. Our results show the potential for creating ultra-high quality quantum optoelectronic devices based on atomically thin semiconductors.
