Charge-separated electron-hole liquid in transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures

Abstract

The possibility of the formation of an electron-hole liquid in the type II heterostructures based on monolayers (bilayers) of transition metal dichalcogenides is considered. It is indicated that additional valleys in the conduction band, which are present in bilayers, are required for its observation. The binding energy of the interlayer exciton is found by the variation method. An analytical formula is found for the shape of the recombination line of the electron-hole liquid.
