On the Optical Properties of Excitons in Buckled 2D Materials in an External Electric Field
arXiv:1807.00407 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.98.125406
Abstract
We study the binding energies and optical properties of direct and indirect excitons in monolayers and double layer heterostructures of Xenes: silicene, germanene, and stanene. It is demonstrated that an external electric field can be used to tune the eigenenergies and optical properties of excitons by changing the effective mass of charge carriers. The Schrödinger equation with field-dependent exciton reduced mass is solved by using the Rytova-Keldysh (RK) potential for direct excitons, while both the RK and Coulomb potentials are used for indirect excitons. It is shown that for indirect excitons, the choice of interaction potential can cause huge differences in the eigenenergies at large electric fields and significant differences even at small electric fields. Furthermore, our calculations show that the choice of material parameters has a significant effect on the binding energies and optical properties of direct and indirect excitons. These calculations contribute to the rapidly growing body of research regarding the excitonic and optical properties of this new class of two dimensional semiconductors.
