Here, the authors investigate the interactions between Fermi polarons in monolayer WS2 by multi-dimensional coherent spectroscopy, and find that, at low electron doping densities, the dominant interactions are between polaron states that are dressed by the same Fermi sea. They also observe a bipolaron bound state with large binding energy, involving excitons in different valleys cooperatively bound to the same electron.
