Theory of synchrotron-based spectroscopic techniques on two-dimensional materials — •Dominik Christiansen, Malte Selig, and Andreas Knorr — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Technische Universität Berlin, Hardenbergstr. 36, 10623 Berlin, Germany

High energy radiation enables the spectroscopic analysis of core level electronic excitations.

First, we develop a theoretical framework for X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) including electronic and structural information obtained from near-edge XAS and extended XAS [1]. Analysing graphene as exemplary material, we show that the characteristic behaviour of the XAS spectra can be derived from the semi-empirical tight-binding approach by considering the spatially non local light-matter interaction.

Second, we develop a theory of exciton dynamics in time and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy investigating the exciton formation and thermalization in ultrathin transition-metal dichalcogenides [2,3].
