Optical properties of monolayer ReSe₂ and ReS₂ — •Thorsten Deilmann — Institute of Solid State Theory, University of Münster, Germany

Rhenium-based transition metal dichalcogenides unite the fascinating characteristics of the confined in-plane physics with their reduced crystal symmetry. This paves the way for polarization-sensitive applications, such as optical logic circuits operating in the infrared spectral region.

Here, we investigate the doping-dependent optical properties of ReSe₂ and ReS₂ from first principles. Besides strong excitonic effects, recent experimental studies have reported three-particle states (i.e. trions) with trion binding energies of more than 100 meV [1,2]. Using our ab initio methods we are able to predict neutral and charged properties and find much smaller binding energies compared to experiment.
