We derive an analytic connection between the screened self-consistent effective potential from density functional theory (DFT) and atomic effective pseudopotentials (AEPs). The motivation to derive AEPs is to address structures with thousands to hundred thousand atoms, as given in most nanostructures. The use of AEPs allows to bypass a self-consistent procedure and to address eigenstates around a certain region of the spectrum (e.g., around the band gap). The bulk AEP construction requires two simple DFT calculations of slightly deformed elongated cells. The ensuing AEPs are given on a fine reciprocal space grid, including the small reciprocal vector components, are free of parameters, and involve no fitting procedure. We further show how to connect the AEPs of different bulk materials, which is necessary to obtain accurate band offsets. We derive a total of 20 AEPs for III-V, II-VI and group IV semiconductors and demonstrate their accuracy and transferability by comparison to DFT calculations of strained bulk structures, quantum wells with varying thickness, and semiconductor alloys.

The electron spin is emerging as a new powerful tool in the electronics and optics industries. Many proposed applications involve the creation of spin currents, which so far have proven to be difficult to produce in semiconductor environments. A new
theoretical analysis shows this might be achieved using holes rather than electrons in semiconductors with significant spin-orbit coupling.
Different from traditional semiconductors, the organic semiconductors normally possess moderate many-body interactions with respect to charge, exciton, spin and phonons. In particular, the diagonal electron-phonon couplings give rise to the spatial l
ocalization and the off-diagonal couplings refer to the delocalization. With the competition between them, the electrons are dispersive in a finite extent and unfavorable towards thermal equilibrium. In this context, the quantities from the statistical mechanics such as the entropy have to be reexamined. In order to bridge the localization-delocalization duality and the device performance in organic semiconductors, the quantum heat engine model is employed to describe the charge, exciton and spin dynamics. We adopt the adaptive time-dependent density matrix renormalization group algorithm to calculate the time evolution of the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC), a quantum dynamic measurement of the entanglement entropy, in three models with two kinds of competing many-body interactions: two-bath lattice model with a single electron, Frenkel-charge transfer mixed model, and the Merrifield model for singlet fission. We respectively investigate the parameter regime that the system is in the many-body localization (MBL) phase indicated by the behavior of OTOC. It is recognized that the novel effects of coherent electron hopping, the ultrafast charge separation and the dissociation of triplet pairs are closely related to the MBL effect. Our investigation unifies the intrinsic mechanisms correlating to charge, exciton and spin into a single framework of quantum entanglement entropy, which may help clarify the complicated and diverse phenomena in organic semiconductors.
The magneto-electronic field effects in organic semiconductors at high magnetic fields are described by field-dependent mixing between singlet and triplet states of weakly bound charge carrier pairs due to small differences in their Lande g-factors t
hat arise from the weak spin-orbit coupling in the material. In this work, we corroborate theoretical models for the high-field magnetoresistance of organic semiconductors, in particular of diodes made of the conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) at low temperatures, by conducting magnetoresistance measurements along with multi-frequency continuous-wave electrically detected magnetic resonance experiments. The measurements were performed on identical devices under similar conditions in order to independently assess the magnetic field-dependent spin-mixing mechanism, the so-called {Delta}g mechanism, which originates from differences in the charge-carrier g-factors induced by spin-orbit coupling.
Reliable and precise measurements of the relative energy of band edges in semiconductors are needed to determine band gaps and band offsets, as well as to establish the band diagram of devices and heterostructures. These measurements are particularly
important in the field of two-dimensional materials, in which many new semiconducting systems are becoming available through exfoliation of bulk crystals. For two-dimensional semiconductors, however, commonly employed techniques suffer from difficulties rooted either in the physics of these systems, or of technical nature. The very large exciton binding energy, for instance, prevents the band gap to be determined from a simple spectral analysis of photoluminescence, and the limited lateral size of atomically thin crystals makes the use of conventional scanning tunneling spectroscopy cumbersome. Ionic gate spectroscopy is a newly developed technique that exploits ionic gate field-effect transistors to determine quantitatively the relative alignment of band edges of two-dimensional semiconductors in a straightforward way, directly from transport measurements (i.e., from the transistor electrical characteristics). The technique relies on the extremely large geometrical capacitance of ionic gated devices that -- under suitable conditions -- enables a change in gate voltage to be directly related to a shift in chemical potential. Here we present an overview of ionic gate spectroscopy, and illustrate its relevance with applications to different two-dimensional semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides and van der Waals heterostructures.
Transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers are promising candidates for exploring new electronic and optical phenomena and for realizing atomically thin optoelectronic devices. They host tightly bound electron-hole pairs (excitons) that can be effici
ently excited by resonant light fields. Here, we demonstrate that a single monolayer of molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) can dramatically modify light transmission near the excitonic resonance, acting as an electrically switchable mirror that reflects up to 85% of incident light at cryogenic temperatures. This high reflectance is a direct consequence of the excellent coherence properties of excitons in this atomically thin semiconductor, encapsulated by hexagonal boron nitride. Furthermore, we show that the MoSe2 monolayer exhibits power- and wavelength-dependent nonlinearities that stem from exciton-based lattice heating in the case of continuous-wave excitation and exciton-exciton interactions when fast, pulsed laser excitation is used. These observations open up new possibilities for studying quantum nonlinear optical phenomena and topological photonics, and for miniaturizing optical devices.
