Two-dimensional molecular crystals have been beyond the reach of systematic investigation because of the lack or instability of their well-defined forms. Here, we demonstrate drastically enhanced photostability and Davydov splitting in single and few-layer tetracene (Tc) crystals sandwiched between inorganic 2D crystals of graphene or hexagonal BN. Molecular orientation and long-range order mapped with polarized wide-field photoluminescence imaging and optical second-harmonic generation revealed high crystallinity of the 2D Tc and its distinctive orientational registry with the 2D inorganic crystals, which were also verified with first-principles calculations. The reduced dielectric screening in 2D space was manifested by enlarged Davydov splitting and attenuated vibronic sidebands in the excitonic absorption and emission of monolayer Tc crystals. Photostable 2D molecular crystals and their size effects will lead to novel photophysical principles and photonic applications.

Polarized superradiant emission and exciton delocalization in tetracene single crystals are reported. Polarization-, time-, and temperature-resolved spectroscopy evidence the complete polarization of the zero-phonon line of the intrinsic tetracene em
ission from both the lower (F state) and the upper (thermally activated) Davydov excitons. The superradiance of the F emission is substantiated by a nearly linear decrease of the radiative lifetime with temperature, being fifteen times shorter at 30 K compared to the isolated molecule, with an exciton delocalization of about 40 molecules.
In two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), new electronic phenomena such as tunable band gaps and strongly bound excitons and trions emerge from strong many-body effects, beyond spin-orbit coupling- and lattice sy
mmetry-induced spin and valley degrees of freedom. Combining single-layer (SL) TMDs with other 2D materials in van der Waals heterostructures offers an intriguing means of controlling the electronic properties through these many-body effects via engineered interlayer interactions. Here, we employ micro-focused angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (microARPES) and in-situ surface doping to manipulate the electronic structure of SL WS$_2$ on hexagonal boron nitride (WS$_2$/h-BN). Upon electron doping, we observe an unexpected giant renormalization of the SL WS$_2$ valence band (VB) spin-orbit splitting from 430~meV to 660~meV, together with a band gap reduction of at least 325~meV, attributed to the formation of trionic quasiparticles. These findings suggest that the electronic, spintronic and excitonic properties are widely tunable in 2D TMD/h-BN heterostructures, as these are intimately linked to the quasiparticle dynamics of the materials.
A surface layer (skin) that is functionally and structurally different from the bulk was found in single crystals of BiFeO3. Impedance analysis indicates that a previously reported anomaly at T* ~ 275 pm 5 ^/circC corresponds to a phase transition co
nfined at the surface of BiFeO3. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction as a function of both incidence angle and photon wavelength unambiguously confirm the existence of a skin with an estimated skin depth of few nanometres, elongated out-of-plane lattice parameter, and lower electron density. Temperature-dependent x-ray diffraction has revealed that the skins out of plane lattice parameter changes abruptly at T*, while the bulk preserves an unfeatured linear thermal expansion. The distinct properties of the skin are likely to dominate in large surface to volume ratios scenarios such as fine grained ceramics and thin films, and should be particularly relevant for electronic devices that rely on interfacial couplings such as exchange bias.
Interlayer excitons are observed coexisting with intralayer excitons in bi-layer, few-layer, and bulk MoSe2 single crystals by confocal reflection contrast spectroscopy. Quantitative analysis using the Dirac-Bloch-Equations provides unambiguous state
assignment of all the measured resonances. The interlayer excitons in bilayer MoSe2 have a large binding energy of 153 meV, narrow linewidth of 20 meV, and their spectral weight is comparable to the commonly studied higher-order intralayer excitons. At the same time, the interlayer excitons are characterized by distinct transition energies and permanent dipole moments providing a promising high temperature and optically accessible platform for dipolar exciton physics.
We report on the controlled growth of h-BN/graphite by means of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) suggests an interface without any reaction or intermixing, while the angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES
) measurements show that the h-BN layers are epitaxially aligned with graphite. A well-defined band structure is revealed by ARPES measurement, reflecting the high quality of the h-BN films. The measured valence band maximum (VBM) located at 2.8 eV below the Fermi level reveals the presence of undoped h-BN films (band gap ~ 6 eV). These results demonstrate that, although only weak van der Waals interactions are present between h-BN and graphite, a long range ordering of h-BN can be obtained even on polycrystalline graphite via van der Waals epitaxy, offering the prospect of large area, single layer h-BN.
