The optical spectrum of the MoS2 bilayer changes under pressure as theoretical and experimental studies have shown [1].
Our computational investigations of the structural, electronic and optical properties are based on elasticity theory, DFT, GdW and the Bethe-Salpeter equation. The stress conditions in our diamond anvil cell experiment result in an effective shift of the excitation energy of the A exciton towards higher energies with increasing pressure. This shift corresponds strongly to the behavior of the direct band gap at the K point. Due to a growing valence band splitting for increasing pressures, the interlayer exciton shows a smaller shift. In total, the A-IL energy splitting decreases under pressure.
Furthermore, the theoretical reproduction of the experimental results shows a suppression of the transfer of hydrostatic pressure due to the interaction between the bilayer and the substrate.
