Phonon-assisted Auger decay of excitons in doped transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers
Benedikt Scharf, Vasili Perebeinos
The competition between the radiative and nonradiative lifetimes determines the optical quantum yield and plays a crucial role in the potential optoelectronic applications of trans…
Emergent bright excitons with Rashba spin-orbit coupling in atomic monolayers
Jiayu David Cao, Gaofeng Xu, Benedikt Scharf +2
Optical properties in van der Waals heterostructures based on monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), are often dominated by excitonic transitions. While intrinsic spin-…
Lifting topological protection in a quantum spin Hall insulator by edge coupling
Raul Stühler, André Kowalewski, Felix Reis +7
The scientific interest in two-dimensional topological insulators (2D TIs) is currently shifting from a more fundamental perspective to the exploration and design of novel function…
Charge Density Wave Activated Excitons in TiSe-MoSe Heterostructures
Jaydeep Joshi, Benedikt Scharf, Igor Mazin +6
Layered materials enable the assembly of a new class of heterostructures where lattice-matching is no longer a requirement. Interfaces in these heterostructures therefore become a…
Thermodynamics in topological Josephson junctions
Benedikt Scharf, Alessandro Braggio, Elia Strambini +2
We study the thermodynamic properties of topological Josephson junctions using a quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator-based junction as an example. In particular, we propose that phas…
Resonant Tunneling Anisotropic Magnetoresistance Induced by Magnetic Proximity
Chenghao Shen, Timothy Leeney, Alex Matos-Abiague +3
We reveal that the interplay between Rashba spin-orbit coupling and proximity-induced magnetization in a two-dimensional electron gas leads to peculiar transport properties and lar…
