Optoelectronic excitations in monolayer MoS2 manifest from a hierarchy of electrically tunable, Coulombic free-carrier and excitonic many-body phenomena. Investigating the fundamental interactions underpinning these phenomena - critical to both many-body physics exploration and device applications - presents challenges, however, due to a complex balance of competing optoelectronic effects and interdependent properties. Here, optical detection of bound- and free-carrier photoexcitations is used to directly quantify carrier-induced changes of the quasiparticle band gap and exciton binding energies. The results explicitly disentangle the competing effects and highlight longstanding theoretical predictions of large carrier-induced band gap and exciton renormalization in 2D semiconductors.

Graphene has shown great application potentials as the host material for next generation electronic devices. However, despite its intriguing properties, one of the biggest hurdles for graphene to be useful as an electronic material is its lacking of
an energy gap in the electronic spectra. This, for example, prevents the use of graphene in making transistors. Although several proposals have been made to open a gap in graphenes electronic spectra, they all require complex engineering of the graphene layer. Here we show that when graphene is epitaxially grown on the SiC substrate, a gap of ~ 0.26 is produced. This gap decreases as the sample thickness increases and eventually approaches zero when the number of layers exceeds four. We propose that the origin of this gap is the breaking of sublattice symmetry owing to the graphene-substrate interaction. We believe our results highlight a promising direction for band gap engineering of graphene.
The quasiparticle band-gap renormalization induced by the doped carriers is an important and well-known feature in two-dimensional semiconductors, including transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and it is of both theoretical and practical interest
. To get a quantitative understanding of this effect, here we calculate the quasiparticle band-gap renormalization of the electron-doped monolayer MoS$_2$, a prototypical member of TMDs. The many-body electron-electron interaction induced renormalization of the self-energy is found within the random phase approximation and to account for the quasi-2D character of the Coulomb interaction in this system a Keldysh-type interaction with a nonlocal dielectric constant is used. Considering the renormalization of both the valence and the conduction bands, our calculations reveal a large and nonlinear band-gap renormalization upon adding free carriers to the conduction band. We find a 410 meV reduction of the band gap for the monolayer MoS$_2$ on SiO$_2$ substrate at the free carrier density $n=4.9times 10^{12} rm{cm^{-2}}$ which is in excellent agreement with available experimental results. We also discuss the role of exchange and correlation parts of the self-energy on the overall band-gap renormalization of the system. The strong dependence of the band-gap renormalization on the surrounding dielectric environment is also demonstrated in this work, and a much larger shrinkage of the band gap is predicted for the freestanding monolayer MoS$_2$.
We discuss here the effect of band nesting and topology on the spectrum of excitons in a single layer of MoS$_2$, a prototype transition metal dichalcogenide material. We solve for the single particle states using the ab initio based tight-binding mo
del containing metal $d$ and sulfur $p$ orbitals. The metal orbitals contribution evolving from $K$ to $Gamma$ points results in conduction-valence band nesting and a set of second minima at $Q$ points in the conduction band. There are three $Q$ minima for each $K$ valley. We accurately solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation including both $K$ and $Q$ points and obtain ground and excited exciton states. We determine the effects of the electron-hole single particle energies including band nesting, direct and exchange screened Coulomb electron-hole interactions and resulting topological magnetic moments on the exciton spectrum. The ability to control different contributions combined with accurate calculations of the ground and excited exciton states allows for the determination of the importance of different contributions and a comparison with effective mass and $kcdot p$ massive Dirac fermion models.
Organic molecular crystals are expected to feature appreciable electron-phonon interactions that influence their electronic properties at zero and finite temperature. In this work, we report first-principles calculations and an analysis of the electr
on-phonon self-energy in naphthalene crystals. We compute the zero-point renormalization and temperature dependence of the fundamental band gap, and the resulting scattering lifetimes of electronic states near the valence- and conduction-band edges employing density functional theory. Further, our calculated phonon renormalization of the $GW$-corrected quasiparticle band structure predicts a fundamental band gap of 5 eV for naphthalene at room temperature, in good agreement with experiments. From our calculated phonon-induced electron lifetimes, we obtain the temperature-dependent mobilities of electrons and holes in good agreement with experimental measurements at room temperatures. Finally, we show that an approximate energy self-consistent computational scheme for the electron-phonon self-energy leads to the prediction of strong satellite bands in the electronic band structure. We find that a single calculation of the self-energy can reproduce the self-consistent results of the band gap renormalization and electrical mobilities for naphthalene, provided that the on-the-mass-shell approximation is used, i.e., if the self-energy is evaluated at the bare eigenvalues.
We report on scattering induced valley polarization enhancement in monolayer molybdenum disulfide. With thermally activated and charge doping introduced scattering, our sample exhibits seven? and twelve-folds of improvements respectively. This counte
r-intuitive effect is attributed to disruptions to valley pseudospin precession caused by rapid modulation of exciton momentum and concomitant local exchange interaction field, at time scales much shorter than the precession period. In contrast, the valley coherence is improved by thermally activated scattering, but not by charge doping induced scattering. We propose that this is due to anisotropic pseudospin scattering and generalize the Maialle-Silva-Sham model to quantitatively explain our experimental results. Our work illustrates that cleaner samples with minimal scattering, such as those carefully suspended or protected by hexagonal boron nitride, do not necessarily lead to good valley polarization. Well-controlled scattering can in fact provide an interesting approach for improving valleytronic devices.
