Intervalley plasmons in crystals
Dinh Van Tuan, Benedikt Scharf, Igor Žutić +1
Collective charge excitations in solids have been the subject of intense research ever since the pioneering works of Bohm and Pines in the 1950s. Most of these studies focused on l…
Proximitized Materials
Igor Zutic, Alex Matos-Abiague, Benedikt Scharf +2
Advances in scaling down heterostructures and having an improved interface quality together with atomically-thin two-dimensional materials suggest a novel approach to systematicall…
Dynamical screening in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides and its manifestations in the exciton spectrum
Benedikt Scharf, Dinh Van Tuan, Igor Žutić +1
Monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (ML-TMDs) offer exciting opportunities to test the manifestations of many-body interactions through changes in the charge density. Tuning…
Magnetic Proximity Effects in Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides: Converting Excitons
Benedikt Scharf, Gaofeng Xu, Alex Matos-Abiague +1
The two-dimensional character and reduced screening in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) lead to the ubiquitous formation of robust excitons with binding energies o…
Marrying excitons and plasmons in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides
Dinh Van Tuan, Benedikt Scharf, Igor Žutić +1
Just as photons are the quanta of light, plasmons are the quanta of orchestrated charge-density oscillations in conducting media. Plasmon phenomena in normal metals, superconductor…
Probing Many-Body Interactions in Monolayer Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides
Dinh Van Tuan, Benedikt Scharf, Zefang Wang +4
Many-body interactions in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides are strongly affected by their unique band structure. We study these interactions by measuring the energy shift…
