The effect of an external in-plane electric field on neutral and charged exciton states in two-dimensional (2D) materials is theoretically investigated. These states are argued to be strongly bound, so that electron-hole dissociation is not observed up to high electric field intensities. Trions in the anisotropic case of monolayer phosphorene are demonstrated to especially robust under electric fields, so that fields as high as 100 kV/cm yield no significant effect on the trion binding energy or probability density distribution. Polarizabilities of excitons are obtained from the parabolicity of numerically calculated Stark shifts. For trions, a fourth order Stark shift is observed, which enables the experimental verification of hyperpolarizability in 2D materials, as observed in the highly excited states of the Rydberg series of atoms and ions.

We present a many-body formalism for the simulation of time-resolved nonlinear spectroscopy and apply it to study the coherent interaction between excitons and trions in doped transition-metal dichalcogenides. Although the formalism can be straightfo rwardly applied in a first-principles manner, for simplicity we use a parameterized band structure and a static model dielectric function, both of which can be obtained from a calculation using the $GW$ approximation. Our simulation results shed light on the interplay between singlet and triplet trions in molybdenum- and tungsten-based compounds. Our two-dimensional electronic spectra are in excellent agreement with recent experiments and we accurately reproduce the beating of a cross-peak signal indicative of quantum coherence between excitons and trions. Although we confirm that the quantum beats in molybdenum-based monolayers unambigously reflect the exciton-trion coherence time, they are shown here to provide a lower-bound to the coherence time of tungsten analogues due to a destructive interference emerging from coexisting singlet and triplet trions.

Substrates have strong effects on optoelectronic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials, which have emerged as promising platforms for exotic physical phenomena and outstanding applications. To reliably interpret experimental results and predic t such effects at 2D interfaces, theoretical methods accurately describing electron correlation and electron-hole interaction such as first-principles many-body perturbation theory are necessary. In our previous work [Phys. Rev. B 102, 205113(2020)], we developed the reciprocal-space linear interpolation method that can take into account the effects of substrate screening for arbitrarily lattice-mismatched interfaces at the GW level of approximation. In this work, we apply this method to examine the substrate effect on excitonic excitation and recombination of 2D materials by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We predict the nonrigid shift of 1s and 2s excitonic peaks due to substrate screening, in excellent agreements with experiments. We then reveal its underlying physical mechanism through 2D hydrogen model and the linear relation between quasiparticle gaps and exciton binding energies when varying the substrate screening. At the end, we calculate the exciton radiative lifetime of monolayer hexagonal boron nitride with various substrates at zero and room temperature, as well as the one of WS2 where we obtain good agreement with experimental lifetime. Our work answers important questions of substrate effects on excitonic properties of 2D interfaces.
Hyperspectral imaging at cryogenic temperatures is used to investigate exciton and trion propagation in MoSe$_2$ monolayers encapsulated with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). Under a tightly focused, continuous-wave laser excitation, the spatial distri bution of neutral excitons and charged trions strongly differ at high excitation densities. Remarkably, in this regime the trion distribution develops a halo shape, similar to that previously observed in WS2 monolayers at room temperature and under pulsed excitation. In contrast, the exciton distribution only presents a moderate broadening without the appereance of a halo. Spatially and spectrally resolved luminescence spectra reveal the buildup of a significant temperature gradient at high excitation power, that is attributed to the energy relaxation of photoinduced hot carriers. We show, via a numerical resolution of the transport equations for excitons and trions, that the halo can be interpreted as thermal drift of trions due to a Seebeck term in the particle current. The model shows that the difference between trion and exciton profiles is simply understood in terms of the very different lifetimes of these two quasiparticles.
We propose a robust and efficient way of controlling the optical spectra of two-dimensional materials and van der Waals heterostructures by quantum cavity embedding. The cavity light-matter coupling leads to the formation of exciton-polaritons, a sup erposition of photons and excitons. Our first principles study demonstrates a reordering and mixing of bright and dark excitons spectral features and in the case of a type II van-der-Waals heterostructure an inversion of intra and interlayer excitonic resonances. We further show that the cavity light-matter coupling strongly depends on the dielectric environment and can be controlled by encapsulating the active 2D crystal in another dielectric material. Our theoretical calculations are based on a newly developed non-perturbative many-body framework to solve the coupled electron-photon Schrodinger equation in a quantum-electrodynamical extension of the Bethe-Salpeter approach. This approach enables the ab-initio simulations of exciton-polariton states and their dispersion from weak to strong cavity light-matter coupling regimes. Our method is then extended to treat van der Waals heterostructures and encapsulated 2D materials using a simplified Mott-Wannier description of the excitons that can be applied to very large systems beyond reach for fully ab-initio approaches.
The anisotropic nature of the new two-dimensional (2D) material phosphorene, in contrast to other 2D materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors, allows excitons to be confined in a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) s pace predicted in theory, leading to remarkable phenomena arising from the reduced dimensionality and screening. Here, we report a trion (charged exciton) binding energy of 190 meV in few-layer phosphorene at room temperature, which is nearly one to two orders of magnitude larger than those in 2D TMD semiconductors (20-30 meV) and quasi-2D quantum wells (1-5 meV). Such a large binding energy has only been observed in truly 1D materials such as carbon nanotubes, whose optoelectronic applications have been severely hurdled by their intrinsically small optical cross-sections. Phosphorene offers an elegant way to overcome this hurdle by enabling quasi-1D excitonic and trionic behaviors in a large 2D area, allowing optoelectronic integration. We experimentally validated the quasi-1D nature of excitonic and trionic dynamics in phospherene by demonstrating completely linearly polarized light emission from excitons and trions. The implications of the extraordinarily large trion binding energy in a higher-than-one-dimensional material are far-reaching. It provides a room-temperature 2D platform to observe the fundamental many-body interactions in the quasi-1D region. The strong photoluminescence emission in phosphorene has been electrically tuned over a large spectral range at room temperature, which opens a new route for tunable light sources.
