In van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures formed by stacking two monolayer semiconductors, lattice mismatch or rotational misalignment introduces an in-plane moir\'e superlattice. While it is widely recognized that a moir\'e superlattice can…
Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) and their moir\'e interfaces have been demonstrated for correlated electron states, including Mott insulators and electron/hole crystals commensurate with moir\'e superlattices.…
We investigate the influence of the appearance of excitonic states on van der Waals interactions among two Rydberg atoms. The atoms are assumed to be in different Rydberg states, e.g., in the $|ns\rangle$ and $|np\rangle$ states. The…
Since the discovery of graphene, a tremendous amount of two dimensional (2D) materials have surfaced. Their electronic properties can usually be well understood without considering correlations between electrons. On the other hand, strong…
Van der Waals heterostructures made from atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) and graphene have emerged as a building block for optoelectronic devices. Such systems are also uniquely poised to investigate interfacial…
Optical dynamics in van der Waals heterobilayers is of fundamental scientific and practical interest. Based on a time-dependent adiabatic GW approach, we discover a new many-electron (excitonic) channel for converting photoexcited…
Two dimensional (2D) van der Waals heterostructures from transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) semiconductors show a new class of spatially separate excitons with extraordinary properties. The interlayer excitons (XI) have been studied…
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and organic semiconductors (OSCs) have emerged as promising material platforms for next-generation optoelectronic devices. The combination of both is predicted to yield emergent…
Excitons, composite electron-hole quasiparticles, are known to play an important role in optoelectronic phenomena in many semiconducting materials. Recent experiments and theory indicate that the band-gap optics of the newly discovered…
The energy band structure of excitons is studied in periodic potentials produced by the short-range interaction between the exciton and electrons of Wigner or Moir\'{e} lattices. Treating the exciton as a point-like dipole that interacts…
We study a capacitor made of three monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) separated by hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN). We assume that the structure is symmetric with respect to the central layer plane. The symmetry includes the…
Excitons are two-particle correlated bound states that are formed due to Coulomb interaction between single-particle holes and electrons. In the solid-state, cooperative interactions with surrounding quasiparticles can strongly tailor the…
Weyl semi-metals are three dimensional generalizations of graphene with point-like Fermi surfaces. Their linear electronic dispersion leads to a window in the particle-hole excitation spectrum which allows for undamped propagation of…
Exciton spectra of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in various dielectric environments are studied. The screened hydrogen model (SHM) [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 056401 (2016)] is examined by comparing its exciton spectra with…
We explore a new platform for realising excitonic insulators, namely van der Waals (vdW) bilayers comprising 2D Janus materials. In previous studies, Type-II heterobilayers have been brought to the excitonic insulating regime by tuning the…
An exciton theory for quasi-one dimensional organic materials is developed in the framework of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Hamiltonian augmented by short range extended Hubbard interactions. Within a strong electron-electron correlation…
Following the Dirac-Frenkel time-dependent variational principle, dynamics of a one-dimensional Holstein polaron is probed by employing the Davydov D2 Ansatz with two sets of variational parameters, one for each constituting particle in the…
We explore the flatness of conduction and valence bands of interlayer excitons in MoS$_2$/WSe$_2$ van der Waals heterobilayers, tuned by interlayer twist angle, pressure, and external electric field. We employ an efficient continuum model…
In this paper we apply variational energy band theory to a form of the Holstein Hamiltonian in which the influence of lattice vibrations (optical phonons) on both local site energies (local coupling) and transfers of electronic excitations…
We analyze the many-particle correlations that affect the optical properties of two-dimensional semiconductors. These correlations manifest themselves through the specific optical resonances such as excitons, trions, etc. Starting from the…
