Ab initio study of electromagnatic modes in two-dimensional semiconductors: Application to doped phosphorene
arXiv:2106.05583 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.104.115421
Abstract
Starting from the rigorous quantum-field-theory formalism we derive a formula for the screened conductivity designed to study the coupling of light with elementary electron excitations and the ensuing electromagnatic modes in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors. The latter physical quantity consists of three fully separable parts, namely intraband, interband, and ladder conducivities, and is calculated beyond the random phase approximation as well as from first principles. By using this methodology, we study the optical absorption spectra in 2D black phosphorous, so-called phosphorene, as a function of the concentration of electrons injected into the conduction band. The mechanisms of phosphorene exciton quenching versus doping are studied in detail. It is demonstrated that already small doping levels () lead to a radical drop in the exciton binding energy, i.e., from to . The screened conductivity is applied to study the collective electromagnetic modes in doped phosphorene. It is shown that the phosphorene transversal exciton hybridizes with free photons to form a exciton-polariton. This phenomenon is experimentally observed only for the case of confined electromagnetic microcavity modes. Finally, we demonstrate that the energy and intensity of anisotropic 2D plasmon-polaritons can be tuned by varying the concentration of injected electrons.
