Heterostructures involving two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides and other materials such as graphene have a strong potential to be the fundamental building block of many electronic and opto-electronic applications. The…
We generalize our recent work on the optical bistability of thin films of molecular aggregates [J. Chem. Phys. 127, 164705 (2007); arXiv:0707.1264v1 [cond-mat.dis-nn]] by accounting for the optical transitions from the one-exciton manifold…
We examine a mechanism by which excitons are generated via the LO (longitudinal optical) phonon-assisted scattering process after optical excitation of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides. The exciton formation time is computed as a…
This work reports a pulsed laser-assisted synthesis, detailed structural characterization, and study of plasmonic properties of three sets of TiN/TiNO thin films with high electron density. The first two sets of TiN films were grown at 600C…
Structural, interfacial, optical, and transport properties of large-area MoS2 ultra-thin films on BN-buffered silicon substrates fabricated using magnetron sputtering are investigated. A relatively simple growth strategy is demonstrated…
The electron-phonon interaction and related transport properties are investigated in monolayer silicene and MoS2 by using a density functional theory calculation combined with a full-band Monte Carlo analysis. In the case of silicene, the…
3R-MoS2, a MoS2 polytype with broken inversion symmetry, enables unique light-matter interactions and is promising for linear and nonlinear integrated photonics beyond the monolayer limit. Yet, systematic studies of its thickness-dependent…
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS$_2$) is a prototypical layered transition-metal dichalcogenide whose electrocatalytic performance is governed by a delicate balance between crystallinity, defect density, and electronic conductivity. Here we report…
Excitonic properties in 2D heterobilayers are closely governed by charge transfer (CT) and excitonic energy transfer (ET) at van der Waals interfaces. Various means have been employed to modulate the interlayer CT and ET, including…
Thickness is one of the fundamental parameters that define the electronic, optical, and thermal properties of two-dimensional (2D) crystals. Phonons in molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) were recently found to exhibit unique thickness dependence…
Amorphous silicon films prepared by electron beam evaporation have systematically and substantially greater atomic density for higher thickness, higher growth temperature, and slower deposition rate, reaching the density of crystalline Si…
Phonon-assisted photoluminescence (PL) in molybdenum-based two-dimensional dichalcogenides is typically weak due to the dormant phonon coupling with optically inactive momentum-dark (intervalley) excitons, unlike in tungsten-based…
Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have been established in the last years as promising materials for novel optoelectronic devices. However, the performance of such devices is often limited by the dissociation of tightly…
Two-dimensional excitons formed in quantum materials such as monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides and their strong light-matter interaction have attracted unrivalled attention by the research community due to their extraordinarily…
We have investigated the electronic and optical properties of (Sr$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$)$_2$IrO$_4$ (x= 0 - 0.375) and (Sr$_{1-y}$Ba$_y$)$_2$IrO$_4$ (y= 0 - 0.375) epitaxial thin-films, in which the bandwidth is systematically tuned via chemical…
Understanding the temperature dependence of the optical properties of thin metal films is critical for designing practical devices for high temperature applications in a variety of research areas, including plasmonics and near-field…
Hyperbolic materials are of particular interest for the next generation of photonic and optoelectronic devices. Since artificial metamaterials are intrinsically limited by the size of their nanostructured components, there has been a hunt…
Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have a remarkable excitonic landscape with deeply bound bright and dark exciton states. Their properties are strongly affected by lattice distortions that can be created in a controlled…
We report a determination of the complex in-plane dielectric function of monolayers of four transition metal dichalcogenides: MoS2, MoSe2, WS2 and WSe2, for photon energies from 1.5 - 3 eV. The results were obtained from reflection spectra…
A fundamental understanding of the intrinsic optoelectronic properties of atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is crucial for its integration into high performance semiconductor devices. Here, we investigate the transport…
