Strong but unconventional electron-hole interactions are expected to be ubiquitous in atomically thin materials using a microscopic theory in which the nonlocal nature of the effective dielectric screening modifies the functional form of the Coulomb interaction.

Strong many-body Coulomb interactions allow for bound two- and three-body excitonic states to form in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides, but it is now shown that such interactions are strong…
Microscopic theory of singlet exciton fission. II. Application to pentacene dimers and the role of superexchange.

- 27 November 2012
Evidence is found for a superexchange mediated mechanism, whereby the fission process proceeds through virtual charge-transfer states which may be very high in energy, and predicts efficient singlet fission on the sub-picosecond timescale.
Tailoring the electronic structure in bilayer molybdenum disulfide via interlayer twist.

- 19 June 2014
Electronic structure calculations show the interlayer separation changes with twist due to repulsion between sulfur atoms, resulting in shifts of the indirect optical transition energies.

- 4 May 2017
By engineering the surrounding dielectric environment, one can tune the electronic bandgap and the exciton binding energy in monolayers of WS2 and WSe2 by hundreds of meV, as an initial step towards the creation of diverse lateral junctions with nanoscale resolution.
