The absorption spectra of single-layer GaSe and GaTe in the hexagonal phase feature exciton peaks with distinct polarization selectivity. We investigate these distinct features from first-principle calculations using the GW-BSE formalisms. We show that the brightness of the exciton absorption peaks is tunable with the polarization of the light. Due to the symmetry of the bands under z-axis mirror symmetry, the bound exciton states selectively couple to either in-plane or out-of-plane polarization of the light. In particular, for a p-polarized light absorption experiment, the absorption peaks of the s-like excitons emerge at large angle of incidence, while the overall absorbance reduces over the rest of the spectrum.

GeSe and SnSe monochalcogenide monolayers and bilayers undergo a two-dimensional phase transition from a rectangular unit cell to a square unit cell at a temperature $T_c$ well below the melting point. Its consequences on material properties are stud
ied within the framework of Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics and density-functional theory. No in-gap states develop as the structural transition takes place, so that these phase-change materials remain semiconducting below and above $T_c$. As the in-plane lattice transforms from a rectangle onto a square at $T_c$, the electronic, spin, optical, and piezo-electric properties dramatically depart from earlier predictions. Indeed, the $Y-$ and $X-$points in the Brillouin zone become effectively equivalent at $T_c$, leading to a symmetric electronic structure. The spin polarization at the conduction valley edge vanishes, and the hole conductivity must display an anomalous thermal increase at $T_c$. The linear optical absorption band edge must change its polarization as well, making this structural and electronic evolution verifiable by optical means. Much excitement has been drawn by theoretical predictions of giant piezo-electricity and ferroelectricity in these materials, and we estimate a pyroelectric response of about $3times 10^{-12}$ $C/K m$ here. These results uncover the fundamental role of temperature as a control knob for the physical properties of few-layer group-IV monochalcogenides
We use a first-principles density functional theory approach to calculate the shift current and linear absorption of uniformly illuminated single-layer Ge and Sn monochalcogenides. We predict strong absorption in the visible spectrum and a large effe
ctive three-dimensional shift current ($sim$100 $mu$A/V$^2$), larger than has been previously observed in other polar systems. Moreover, we show that the integral of the shift-current tensor is correlated to the large spontaneous effective three-dimensional electric polarization ($sim$1.9 C/m$^2$). Our calculations indicate that the shift current will be largest in the visible spectrum, suggesting that these monochalcogenides may be promising for polar optoelectronic devices. A Rice-Mele tight-binding model is used to rationalize the shift-current response for these systems, and its dependence on polarization, in general terms with implications for other polar materials
Understanding carrier creation and evolution in materials initiated by pulsed optical excitation is central to developing ultrafast optoelectronics. We demonstrate herein that the dynamic response of a system can be drastically modified when its phys
ical dimension is reduced to the atomic scale, the ultimate limit of device miniaturization. A comparative study of single-layer (SL) tungsten diselenide(WSe2) relative to bulk WSe2 shows substantial differences in the transient response as measured by time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TRARPES). The conduction-band minimum in bulk WSe2, populated by optical pumping, decays promptly. The corresponding decay for SL WSe2 is much slower and exhibits two time constants. The results indicate the presence of two distinct decay channels in the SL that are correlated with the breaking of space inversion symmetry in the two-dimensional limit. This symmetry breaking lifts the spin degeneracy of the bands, which in turn causes the blockage of decay for one spin channel. The stark contrast between the single layer and the bulk illustrates the basic carrier scattering processes operating at different timescales that can be substantially modified by dimensional and symmetry-reduction effects.
We carried out micro-Raman spectroscopy of graphene layers over the temperature range from approximately 80 K to 370 K. The number of layers was independently confirmed by the quantum Hall measurements and atomic force microscopy. The measured values
of the temperature coefficients for the G and 2D-band frequencies of the single-layer graphene are -0.016 1/(cm K) and -0.034 1/(cm K), respectively. The G peak temperature coefficient of the bi-layer graphene and bulk graphite are -0.015 1/(cm K) and -0.011 1/(cm K), respectively.
We report measurements of the optical response of polycrystalline DyN thin films. The frequency-dependent complex refractive index in the near IR-visible-near UV was determined by fitting reflection/transmission spectra. In conjunction with resistivi
ty measurements these identify DyN as a semiconductor with 1.2 eV optical gap. When doped by nitrogen vacancies it shows free carrier absorption and a blue-shifted gap associated with the Moss-Burstein effect. The refractive index of 2.0+/-0.1 depends only weakly on energy. Far infrared reflectivity data show a polar phonon of frequency 280 cm-1 and dielectric strength delta epsilon= 20.
