Exciton physics in two-dimensional semiconductors and heterostructures
- Submission status

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have emerged as a material platform for the investigation of exciton physics. Their reduced dimensionality, combined with weak screening, fosters robust Coulomb interactions, resulting in the formation of tightly bound excitons at room temperature. Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides and their heterostructures boast a range of exciton species, including bright and dark excitons. Furthermore, the reduced screening gives rise to the formation of many-particle excitonic complexes, which occur when excitons interact with other quasiparticles. In this collection, we shine a spotlight on research related to excitonic complexes in 2D semiconductors and moiré heterojunctions, paving the way for opportunities in the field of excitonic and correlated physics.
