Photocarrier relaxation pathway in two-dimensional semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides
Open accessAbstract
Two-dimensional (2D) crystals of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) absorb a large fraction of incident photons in the visible frequencies despite being atomically thin. It has been suggested that the strong absorption is due to the parallel band or “band nesting” effect and corresponding divergence in the joint density of states. Here, we show using photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy that the band nesting in mono- and bilayer MX 2 (M = Mo, W and X = S, Se) results in excitation-dependent characteristic relaxation pathways of the photoexcited carriers. Our experimental and simulation results reveal that photoexcited electron-hole pairs in the nesting region spontaneously separate in the k -space, relaxing towards immediate band extrema with opposite momentum. These effects imply that the loss of photocarriers due to direct exciton recombination is temporarily suppressed for excitation in resonance with band nesting. Our findings highlight the potential for efficient hot carrier collection using these materials as the absorbers in optoelectronic devices. excitation (PLE) and ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculation. We show that the is strongly dependent on the Our findings reveal the unique implication of and characteristic

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
