Exciton valley depolarization in monolayer MoS2: non-Markovian quantum dynamics, intervalley scattering, and the breakdown of the Dyakonov-Perel mechanism
Yang-hao Chan, Jonah B. Haber, Mit H. Naik +2
In monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, exciton valley relaxation is typically attributed to the Dyakonov-Perel (DP) mechanism, where frequent intravalley scattering with ph…
Tailoring phonon-driven responses in α-MoO3 through isotopic enrichment
Thiago S. Arnaud, Ryan W. Spangler, Johnathan D. Georgaras +29
The implementation of polaritonic materials into nanoscale devices requires selective tuning of parameters to realize desired spectral or thermal responses. One robust material is…
Real-Space Quantification of Exciton Localization in Acene Crystals Using Wannier Function Decomposition
Zui Tao, Jonah B. Haber, Jeffrey B. Neaton
We introduce the Wannier function decomposition of excitons (WFDX) method to quantify exciton localization in solids within the ab initio Bethe-Salpeter equation framework. By deco…
Tunable electronic energy level alignment and exciton diversity in organic-inorganic van der Waals heterostructures
Aurélie Champagne, Olugbenga Adeniran, Jonah B. Haber +3
van der Waals stacking of two-dimensional (2D) materials offers a powerful platform for engineering material interfaces with tailored electronic and optical properties. While most…
Terahertz field-induced giant symmetry modulations in a van der Waals antiferromagnet
Sheikh Rubaiat Ul Haque, Martin J. Cross, Sangeeta Rajpurohit +19
Strong-field terahertz (THz) excitations enable dynamic control over electronic, lattice and symmetry degrees of freedom in quantum materials. Here, we uncover pronounced terahertz…
Ultrafast Spontaneous Exciton Dissociation via Phonon Emission in BiVO
Stephen E. Gant, Antonios M. Alvertis, Christopher J. N. Coveney +3
Monoclinic bismuth vanadate (m-BiVO) is a promising indirect band gap semiconductor for photoelectrochemical water splitting, yet the characteristics of its low-lying photoexci…
