Excitons are compound particles formed from an electron and a hole in semiconductors. The impact of this substructure on the phonon-exciton interaction is described by a closed system of microscopic scattering equations. To calculate the…
A lattice field theory approach to the statistical mechanics of charged polymers in electrolyte solutions [S. Tsonchev, R. D. Coalson, and A. Duncan, Phys. Rev. E 60, 4257, (1999)] is applied to the study of a polymer chain contained in a…
We describe exciton-polariton modes formed by the interaction between excitons in a 2D layer of a transition metal dichalcogenide embedded in a cylindrical microcavity and the microcavity photons. For this, an expression for the excitonic…
We study the interface exciton at lateral type II heterojunctions of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), where the electron and hole prefer to stay at complementary sides of the junction. We find that the 1D interface exciton…
Two-dimensional halide perovskite nanoplatelets (NPLs) have exceptional light-emitting properties, including wide spectral tunability, ultrafast radiative decays, high quantum yields (QY), and oriented emission. To realize efficient…
Excitons are electron-hole pairs appearing below the band gap in insulators and semiconductors. They are vital to photovoltaics, but are hard to obtain with time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT), since most standard…
We analyze the interaction of two conducting, charged polymer chains in solution using a minimal model for their electronic degrees of freedom. We show that a crossing of the two chains in which the polymers pass within Angstroms of each…
Standard density functional approximations greatly over-estimate the static polarizability of longchain polymers, but Hartree-Fock or exact exchange calculations do not. Simple self-interaction corrected (SIC) approximations can be even…
We study the properties of dipolar wave propagation in linear chains of isotropic particles with independent electric and magnetic response, embedded in vacuum. It is shown that the chain can support simultaneously right-handed modes (RHM)…
Excitons, Coulomb-bound electron-hole pairs, play a fundamental role in both optical excitation and correlated phenomena in solids. When an exciton interacts with other quasi-particles, few- and many-body excited states, such as trions,…
We use complete enumeration and Monte Carlo techniques to study two-dimensional self-avoiding polymer chains with quenched ``charges'' $\pm 1$. The interaction of charges at neighboring lattice sites is described by $q_i q_j$. We find that…
As a platform for optoelectronic devices based on exciton dynamics, monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are often placed near metal interfaces or inside planar cavities. While the radiative properties of point dipoles at…
We study how the radiative properties of a dense ensemble of atoms can be modified when they are placed near or between metallic or dielectric surfaces. If the average separation between the atoms is comparable or smaller than the…
