Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are direct band gap semiconductors with an extraordinarily strong Coulomb interaction, leading to the formation of excitonic quasiparticles.
Here, we present a microscopic study of the influence of the exciton-phonon interaction on the absorption line shape of TMDs. A treatment of the exciton-phonon interaction beyond the Markov approximation predicts the appearance of phonon-induced sidebands that are accompanied by a pronounced polaron-red shift. In a joint theory-experiment study, we observe an asymmetry of the absorption line shape due to the interplay of phonon emission/absorption and dark intra- and intervalley excitonic states.
