Atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are 2D semiconductors with tightly
bound excitons and correspondingly strong light–matter interactions. Owing to the weak van …

The past decade has witnessed the rise of low-dimensional materials, such as graphene,
transition metal dichalcogenides, black phosphorus, organic–inorganic hybrid perovskites …

Recently, the celebrated Rytova-Keldysh potential has been widely used to describe the
Coulomb interaction of few-body complexes in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides …

The electronic and optical properties of monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs)
and van der Waals heterostructures are strongly subject to their dielectric environment. In …

The dielectric constant, which defines the polarization of the media, is a key quantity in
condensed matter. It determines several electronic and optoelectronic properties important …

We present a growth process relying on pulsed laser deposition for the elaboration of
complex van der Waals heterostructures on large scales, at a 400° C CMOS-compatible …

Transistors based on semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides can, in theory, offer
high carrier mobilities, strong spin–orbit coupling and inherently strong electronic …

Ultrathin transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) films show great promise as absorber
materials in high-specific-power (ie, high-power-per-weight) solar cells, due to their high …

Intense lasers can easily drive nonadiabatic transitions of excited electron wave packets
across the Brillouin zones, thus transition dipole moments (TDM) between energy bands of …

We demonstrate the strong coupling of direct transition excitons in tungsten disulfide (WS2)
with collective plasmonic resonances at room temperature. We use open plasmonic cavities …
