Excitons, namely neutral excitations in a system of electrons arising from the electron-hole interaction, are often essential to explain optical measurements in materials. They are governed by the Bethe-Salpeter equation, which can be cast…
We show that the optical absorption spectra of boron nitride (BN) nanotubes are dominated by strongly bound excitons. Our first-principles calculations indicate that the binding energy for the first and dominant excitonic peak depends…
Excitonic effects in optical spectra and electron-hole pair excitations are described by solutions of the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) that accounts for the Coulomb interaction of excited electron-hole pairs. Although for the computation…
We present an ab initio computational approach for the calculation of resonant Raman intensities, including both excitonic and non-adiabatic effects. Our diagrammatic approach, which we apply to two prototype, semiconducting layered…
We combine electron energy-loss spectroscopy and first-principles calculations based on density-functional theory (DFT) to identify the lowest indirect exciton state in the in-plane charge response of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) single…
We report non-resonant x-ray Raman scattering (XRS) measurements from hexagonal boron nitride for transferred momentum from 2 to 9 $\mathrm{\AA}^{-1}$ along directions both in and out of the basal plane. A symmetry-based argument, together…
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a wide band gap material with both strong excitonic light emission in the ultraviolet and strong exciton-phonon coupling. Luminescence experiments performed on the recently synthesized monolayer form (m-hBN)…
Known as a prominent recombination path at high excitation densities, exciton-exciton annihilation (EEA) is evidenced in bulk hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) by cathodoluminescence at low temperature. Thanks to a careful tune of the the…
We have investigated indirect excitons in bulk $2H$-MoS$_2$ using transmission electron energy-loss spectroscopy. The electron energy-loss spectra were measured for various momentum transfer values parallel to the $\Gamma$K and $\Gamma$M…
In this manuscript we study luminescence of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) by means of non-equilibrium Green's functions plus time-dependent perturbation theory. We derive a formula for light emission in solids in the limit of a weak…
The bound electron-hole pairs known as excitons govern the optical properties of insulating solids. While their behavior in equilibrium is well-understood theoretically, the nonequilibrium regime at high excitation densities-where phenomena…
We have investigated the electronic excitations in bulk 2H-MoS2 using electron energy-loss spectroscopy. The electron energy-loss spectra in the {\Gamma}M and {\Gamma}K directions were measured for various momentum transfer values. The…
Despite its simple crystal structure, layered boron nitride features a surprisingly complex variety of phonon-assisted luminescence peaks. We present a combined experimental and theoretical study on ultraviolet-light emission in hexagonal…
The excitonic recombinations in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are investigated with spatially resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy in the UV range. Cathodoluminescence images of an individual hBN crystallite reveals that the 215 nm…
Understanding the properties of novel solid-state quantum emitters is pivotal for a variety of applications in field ranging from quantum optics to biology. Recently discovered defects in hexagonal boron nitride are especially interesting,…
Boron nitride single layer belongs to the family of 2D materials whose optical properties are currently receiving considerable attention. Strong excitonic effects have already been observed in the bulk and still stronger effects are…
One of the main interests of 2D materials is their ability to be assembled with many degrees of freedom for tuning and manipulating excitonic properties. There is a need to understand how the structure of the interfaces between atomic…
Optical excitations in hexagonal nanonetwork materials, for example, Boron-Nitride (BN) sheets and nanotubes, are investigated theoretically. A permanent electric dipole moment, whose direction is from the B site to the N site, is…
The momentum-space signatures of excitons can be experimentally accessed through time-resolved (pump-probe) photoelectron spectroscopy. In this work, we develop a computational framework for exciton photoemission orbital tomography (exPOT)…
Mechanically isolated defect centers in hexagonal boron nitride are promising coherent quantum emitters, yet spectral instabilities persist, and their spin-related nature remains unclear. Here we investigate a single mechanically isolated…
