BLABS Seminar: How does many-body scattering contribute to the exciton/polaron dynamics in 2d semiconductors?

Eric Bittner
University of Houston

Low dimensional semiconductors, such as layered perovskites and transition metal dichalcogenides, have unusual optical electronic properties and have attracted considerable recent attention various technological applications. Spectral line-shapes provide a window into the local environment surrounding the optical excitations, which may also in driven in concert with the optical signals. In my talk, I will discuss my recent work in developing stochastic models for describing non-stationary and non-equilibrium "dark" exciton processes in 2d materials and their signatures in 2D coherent spectral responses. Our model resolves a number of questions involving spectral shifts, line-shape narrowing, and phase-scrambling observed in lead and tin-based Ruddlesden-Popper metal halides.
