The direct band gap character and large spin-orbit splitting of the valence band edges (at the K and K' valleys) in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides have put these two-dimensional materials under the spot-light of intense experimental and theoretical studies. In particular, for Tungsten dichalcogenides it has been found that the sign of spin splitting of conduction band edges makes ground state excitons radiatively inactive (dark) due to spin and momentum mismatch between the constituent electron and hole. One might similarly assume that the ground states of charged excitons and biexcitons in these monolayers are also dark. Here, we show that the intervalley (K reversible arrow K') electronelectron scattering mixes bright and dark states of these complexes, and estimate the radiative lifetimes in the ground states of these semi-dark trions and biexcitons to be similar to 10 ps, and analyse how these complexes appear in the temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectra of WS2 and WSe2 monolayers.
