The interaction between molecular electronic transitions and electromagnetic fields can be
enlarged to the point where distinct hybrid light–matter states, polaritons, emerge. The …

The interaction of excitons with lattice vibrations underlies the scattering from bright to dark
excitons as well as the coherent modulation of the exciton energy. Unlike the former …

van der Waals (vdW) structures host a broad range of physical phenomena. New
opportunities arise if different functional layers are remotely modulated or coupled in a …

The light-mediated interaction of fermionic and bosonic excitations governs the
optoelectronic properties of condensed matter systems. In photoexcited semiconductors, the …

Starting from the ab initio many-body theory of electrons and phonons, we go through a
series of well defined simplifications to derive a set of coupled equations of motion for the …

Hybrid organic–inorganic semiconductors with strong electron–phonon interactions provide
a programmable platform for developing a variety of electronic, optoelectronic, and quantum …

Due to the strong Coulomb interaction, the optical and electrical properties of two-
dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are greatly determined by the …

Twisted van der Waals heterostructures have led to emerging layer-dependent correlated
physics in moiré potentials. While optoelectronic controls over interlayer electronic coupling …

We report a theoretical investigation of the ultrafast dynamics of electrons and phonons in
strained monolayer WS2 following photoexcitation. We show that strain substantially …

PdSe2 is a puckered transition metal dichalcogenide that has been reported to undergo a
two-dimensional to three-dimensional structural transition under pressure. Here, we …
