Longitudinal-transverse splitting and fine structure of Fermi polarons in two-dimensional semiconductors

Abstract

Interaction of excitons with resident charge carriers in semiconductors gives rise to bound three-particle complexes, trions, whose optical response is conveniently described in the framework of many-body correlated Fermi polaron states. These states are formed as a result of correlation of photocreated trion with the Fermi sea hole and possess the angular momentum component of $\pm 1$ depending on the helicity of the photon. We study theoretically the energy spectrum fine structure of Fermi polarons in two-dimensional semiconductors based on transition metal dichalcogenides. We demonstrate both by the symmetry analysis and microscopic calculation that the Fermi polarons with nonzero in-plane wavevector $\mathbf{k}$ are split, similarly to the neutral exciton states, into the linearly polarized longitudinal and transverse, with respect to the $\mathbf{k}$, states. The origin of this longitudinal-transverse splitting is the long-range electron-hole exchange interaction that can be also described as the interaction of Fermi polarons with their induced electromagnetic field. The effective Hamiltonian describing the Fermi polaron fine structure is derived, and its parameters are determined from the microscopic model.
