The breakdown of the adiabatic Born-Oppenheimer approximation is striking dynamical phenomenon, however, it occurs only in a handful of layered materials. Here, I show that adiabaticity breaks down in doped single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides in a quite intriguing manner. Namely, significant nonadiabatic coupling, which acts on frequencies of the Raman-active modes, is prompted by a Lifshitz transition due to depopulation and population of multiple valence and conduction valleys, respectively. The outset of the latter event is shown to be dictated by the interplay of highly non-local electron-electron interaction and spin-orbit coupling. In addition, intense electron-hole pair scatterings due to electron-phonon coupling are inducing phonon linewidth modifications as a function of doping. Comprehending these intricate dynamical effects turns out to be a key for mastering characterization of electron doping in two-dimensional nano-devices by means of Raman spectroscopy.

Accurately described excitonic properties of transition metal dichalcogenide heterobilayers (HBLs) are crucial to comprehend the optical response and the charge carrier dynamics of them. Excitons in multilayer systems posses inter or intralayer chara
cter whose spectral positions depend on their binding energy and the band alignment of the constituent single-layers. In this study, we report the electronic structure and the absorption spectra of MoS$_2$/WS$_2$ and MoSe$_2$/WSe$_2$ HBLs from first-principles calculations. We explore the spectral positions, binding energies and the origins of inter and intralayer excitons and compare our results with experimental observations. The absorption spectra of the systems are obtained by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation on top of a G$_0$W$_0$ calculation which corrects the independent particle eigenvalues obtained from density functional theory calculations. Our calculations reveal that the lowest energy exciton in both HBLs possesses interlayer character which is decisive regarding their possible device applications. Due to the spatially separated nature of the charge carriers, the binding energy of inter-layer excitons might be expected to be considerably smaller than that of intra-layer ones. However, according to our calculations the binding energy of lowest energy interlayer excitons is only $sim$ 20% lower due to the weaker screening of the Coulomb interaction between layers of the HBLs. Therefore, it can be deduced that the spectral positions of the interlayer excitons with respect to intralayer ones are mostly determined by the band offset of the constituent single-layers. By comparing oscillator strengths and thermal occupation factors, we show that in luminescence at low temperature, the interlayer exciton peak becomes dominant, while in absorption it is almost invisible.
Twisted bilayers of two-dimensional materials, such as twisted bilayer graphene, often feature flat electronic bands that enable the observation of electron correlation effects. In this work, we study the electronic structure of twisted transition me
tal dichalcogenide (TMD) homo- and heterobilayers that are obtained by combining MoS$_2$, WS$_2$, MoSe$_2$ and WSe$_2$ monolayers, and show how flat band properties depend on the chemical composition of the bilayer as well as its twist angle. We determine the relaxed atomic structure of the twisted bilayers using classical force fields and calculate the electronic band structure using a tight-binding model parametrized from first-principles density-functional theory. We find that the highest valence bands in these systems can derive either from $Gamma$-point or $K$/$K$-point states of the constituent monolayers. For homobilayers, the two highest valence bands are composed of monolayer $Gamma$-point states, exhibit a graphene-like dispersion and become flat as the twist angle is reduced. The situation is more complicated for heterobilayers where the ordering of $Gamma$-derived and $K$/$K$-derived states depends both on the material composition and also the twist angle. In all systems, qualitatively different band structures are obtained when atomic relaxations are neglected.
A mismatch of atomic registries between single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in a two dimensional van der Waals heterostructure produces a moire superlattice with a periodic potential, which can be fine-tuned by introducing a twist an
gle between the materials. This approach is promising both for controlling the interactions between the TMDs and for engineering their electronic band structures, yet direct observation of the changes to the electronic structure introduced with varying twist angle has so far been missing. Here, we probe heterobilayers comprised of single-layer MoS$_2$ and WS$_2$ with twist angles of $(2.0 pm 0.5)^{circ}$, $(13.0 pm 0.5)^{circ}$, and $(20.0 pm 0.5)^{circ}$ and investigate the differences in their electronic band structure using micro-focused angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We find strong interlayer hybridization between MoS$_2$ and WS$_2$ electronic states at the $bar{mathrm{Gamma}}$-point of the Brillouin zone, leading to a transition from a direct bandgap in the single-layer to an indirect gap in the heterostructure. Replicas of the hybridized states are observed at the centre of twist angle-dependent moire mini Brillouin zones. We confirm that these replica features arise from the inherent moire potential by comparing our experimental observations with density functional theory calculations of the superlattice dispersion. Our direct visualization of these features underscores the potential of using twisted heterobilayer semiconductors to engineer hybrid electronic states and superlattices that alter the electronic and optical properties of 2D heterostructures.
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides are promising materials for photoelectronic devices. Among them, molybdenum disulphide (MoS$_2$) and tungsten disulphide (WS$_2$) are some of the best candidates due to their favorable band gap values and ba
nd edge alignments. Here we consider various perturbative corrections to the DFT electronic structure, e.g. GW, spin-orbit coupling, as well as many-body excitonic and trionic effects, and calculate accurate band gaps as a function of homogeneous strain in these materials. We show that all of these corrections are of comparable magnitudes and need to be included in order to obtain an accurate electronic structure. We calculate the strain at which the direct-to-indirect gap transition occurs. After considering all contributions, the direct to indirect gap transition strain is found to be at 2.7% in MoS$_2$ and 3.9% in WS$_2$. These values are generally higher than the previously reported theoretical values.
The optical and electronic properties of 2D semiconductors are intrinsically linked via the strong interactions between optically excited bound species and free carriers. Here we use near-field scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) to image spatial var
iations in photoconductivity in MoS$_2$--WS$_2$ lateral multijunction heterostructures using photon energy-resolved narrowband illumination. We find that the onset of photoconductivity in individual domains corresponds to the optical absorption onset, confirming that the tightly bound excitons in transition metal dichalcogenides can nonetheless dissociate into free carriers. These photogenerated carriers are most likely n-type and are seen to persist for up to days, and informed by finite element modeling we reveal that they can increase the carrier density by up to 200 times. This persistent photoconductivity appears to be dominated by contributions from the multilayer MoS$_2$ domains, and we attribute the flake-wide response in part to charge transfer across the heterointerface. Spatial correlation of our SMM imaging with photoluminescence (PL) mapping confirms the strong link between PL peak emission photon energy, PL intensity, and the local accumulated charge. This work reveals the spatially and temporally complex optoelectronic response of these systems and cautions that properties measured during or after illumination may not reflect the true dark state of these materials but rather a metastable charged state.
