Excitons govern the light-matter interaction in 2D gapped materials with intrinsically large binding energies. In spite of plentiful optical measurements in the visible for semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenides, we still lack…
We investigate electric-field induced redshifts of photoluminescence from individual single-walled carbon nanotubes. The shifts scale quadratically with field, while measurements with different excitation powers and energies show that…
Atomistically detailed computational studies of nanocrystals, such as those derived from the promising lead-halide perovskites, are challenging due to the large number of atoms and lack of symmetries to exploit. Here, focusing on…
Exciton-phonon interactions play a central role in defining the optical response of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), yet their quantitative determination has remained incomplete. Here, we reveal the Fr\"ohlich-type exciton-phonon coupling in…
Fifty years ago Walter Kohn speculated that a zero-gap semiconductor might be unstable against the spontaneous generation of excitons---electron-hole pairs bound together by Coulomb attraction. The reconstructed ground state would then open…
Photoluminescence is commonly used to identify the electronic structure of individual nanotubes. But, nanotubes naturally occur in bundles. Thus, we investigate photoluminescence of nanotube bundles. We show that their complex spectra are…
We present an \textit{ab initio} method to calculate phonon-assisted absorption and emission spectra in the presence of strong excitonic effects. We apply the method to bulk hexagonal BN which has an indirect band gap and is known for its…
The absorption and emission spectra of silicon nanocrystals up to 1 nm diameter including geometry optimization and the many-body effects induced by the creation of an electron-hole pair have been calculated within a first-principles…
The bright exciton emission of semiconducting carbon nanotubes is appealing for optoelectronic and quantum photonic devices as well as fundamental studies of light-matter interaction in one-dimensional nanostructures. The photophysics of…
A quantitative analysis of the excitonic luminescence efficiency in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is carried out by cathodoluminescence in the ultraviolet range and compared with zinc oxide and diamond single crystals. A high quantum yield…
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are a one-dimensional material system with intriguing physical properties that lead to emerging applications. While CNTs are unusually strain resistant compared to bulk materials, their optical-absorption spectrum is…
We show that the absorption spectrum in semiconducting nanotubes can be determined using the bosonization technique combined with mean-field theory and a harmonic approximation. Our results indicate that a multiple band semiconducting…
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are quasi-one-dimensional systems with poor Coulomb screening and enhanced electron-phonon interaction, and are good candidates for excitons and exciton-phonon couplings in metallic state. Here we…
The theory of exciton spectrum in multi-shell hexagonal semiconductor nanotube is developed within the effective masses and rectangular potentials approximations using the method of effective potential. It is shown that the exciton binding…
Electroabsorption spectroscopy of well-identified index-defined semiconducting carbon nanotubes is reported. The measurement of high definition electroabsorption spectra allows direct indexation with unique nanotube chirality. Results show…
We report a femtosecond mid-infrared study of the broadband low-energy response of individually separated (6,5) and (7,5) single-walled carbon nanotubes. Strong photoinduced absorption is observed around 200 meV, whose transition energy,…
Biased bilayer graphene (BBG) is a variable band gap semiconductor, with a strongly field-dependent band gap of up to $300 \, \text{meV}$, making it of particular interest for graphene-based nano-electronic and -photonic devices. The…
We report the first observation of trions (charged excitons), three-particle bound states consisting of one electron and two holes, in hole-doped carbon nanotubes at room temperature. When p-type dopants are added to carbon nanotube…
