Magnetic proximity interaction provides a promising route to manipulate the spin and valley degrees of freedom in van der Waals heterostructures. Here, we report a control of valley pseudospin in the WS 2 /MoSe 2 heterostructure by utilizing the magnetic proximity effect of few-layered CrBr 3 and, for the first time, observe a substantial difference in valley polarization of intra/interlayer excitons under different circularly polarized laser excitations, referred to as chirality-dependent valley polarization. Theoretical and experimental results reveal that the spin-selective charge transfer between MoSe 2 and CrBr 3 , as well as between MoSe 2 and WS 2 , is mostly responsible for the chiral feature of valley polarization in comparison with the proximity exchange field. This means that a long-distance manipulation of exciton behaviors in multilayer heterostructures can be achieved through spin-selective charge transfer. This work marks a significant advancement in the control of spin and valley pseudospin in multilayer structures.
