| Abstract: |
The optical spectra of vertically stacked MoSe 2 /WSe 2 heterostructures containadditional “interlayer” excitonic peaks that are absent in the individualmonolayer materials and exhibit a significant spatial charge separation in out-of-plane direction. A many-body perturbation theory approach is used tosimulate the excitonic spectra of MoSe2 /WSe 2 heterobilayers with threestacking orders, considering both momentum-direct and momentum-indirectexcitons. The small oscillator strengths and the optical responses of theinterlayer excitons are significantly stacking-dependent and give rise to highradiative lifetimes in the range of 5–200 ns at low temperature for the “bright”interlayer excitons. Solving the finite-momentum Bethe–Salpeter Equation(BSE), the lowest energy excitation is predicted to be an exciton over thefundamental indirect band gap, with a binding energy of 220 meV. However,in agreement with recent magneto-optics experiments and previous theo-retical studies, the simulations of the effective excitonicg-factors suggest thatthe low energy momentum-indirect excitons are not experimentally observed.The existence of “interlayer”C excitons with significant exciton bindingenergies and optical oscillator strengths is further revealed, which are anal-ogous to the prominent band nesting excitons in mono- and few-layertransition-metal dichalcogenides.RESEARCH ARTICLEwww.pss-b.comPhys.
