Electronic excitations in transition metal dichalcogenides under the influence of dielectric environments — •Malte Rösner¹, Alexander Steinhoff², Roelof Groenewald³, Frank Jahnke², Stephan Haas³, Christopher Gies², and Tim O.

We present a material-realistic approach to describe electronic interaction effects in transition metal dichalcogenides. On the basis of the Wannier function continuum electrostatics (WFCE) method [1], we are able to include the effects of the dielectric environment, which could serve as a promising tuning knob to control 2D material’s properties. We study the doping dependence and the influence of different types of dielectric environments to electronic and plasmonic properties. We find electronic band structure and plasmon dispersion changes on the eV scale.
