Optoelectronic Devices Based on Atomically Thin Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
We review the application of atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides in optoelectronic devices. First, a brief overview of the optical properties of two-dimensional layered semiconductors is given and the role of excitons and valley dichroism in these materials are discussed. The following sections review and compare different concepts of photodetecting and light emitting devices, nano...
متن کاملChiral topological excitons in the monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides
We theoretically investigate the chiral topological excitons emerging in the monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, where a bulk energy gap of valley excitons is opened up by a position dependent external magnetic field. We find two emerging chiral topological nontrivial excitons states, which exactly connects to the bulk topological properties, i.e., Chern number = 2. The dependence of th...
متن کاملOptical absorption by Dirac excitons in single-layer transition-metal dichalcogenides
We develop an analytically solvable model able to qualitatively explain nonhydrogenicexciton spectra observed recently in two-dimensional (20) semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenides. Our exciton Hamiltonian explicitly includes additional angular momentum associated with the pseudospin degree of freedom unavoidable in 20 semiconducting materials with honeycomb structure. We claim that t...
متن کاملIntrinsic homogeneous linewidth and broadening mechanisms of excitons in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides
The band-edge optical response of transition metal dichalcogenides, an emerging class of atomically thin semiconductors, is dominated by tightly bound excitons localized at the corners of the Brillouin zone (valley excitons). A fundamental yet unknown property of valley excitons in these materials is the intrinsic homogeneous linewidth, which reflects irreversible quantum dissipation arising fr...
متن کاملOptically bright p-excitons indicating strong Coulomb coupling in transition-metal dichalcogenides.
It is shown that the strong Coulomb coupling in intrinsic suspended semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides can exceed the critical value needed for an excitonic ground state. The dipole-allowed optical excitations then correspond to intra-excitonic transitions such that the optically bright excitonic transitions near the Dirac points have a p-like symmetry, whereas the s-like states ar...
