Observation of giant bandgap renormalization and excitonic effects in a monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductor

Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) exhibit novel electrical and optical properties and are emerging as a new platform for exploring 2D semiconductor physics. Reduced screening in 2D results in dramatically enhanced electron-electron interactions, which have been predicted to generate giant bandgap renormalization and excitonic effects. Currently, however, there is little direct experimental confirmation of such many-body effects in these materials. Here we present an experimental observation of extraordinarily large exciton binding energy in a 2D semiconducting TMD. We accomplished this by determining the single-particle electronic bandgap of single-layer MoSe2 via scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), as well as the two-particle exciton transition energy via photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). These quantities yield an exciton binding energy of 0.55 eV for monolayer MoSe2, a value that is orders of magnitude larger than what is seen in conventional 3D semiconductors. This finding is corroborated by our ab initio GW and Bethe Salpeter equation calculations, which include electron correlation effects. The renormalized bandgap and large exciton binding observed here will have a profound impact on electronic and optoelectronic device technologies based on single-layer semiconducting TMDs.
