Quasiparticle and excitonic properties of monolayer SrTiO3 — •Lorenzo Varrassi1, Peitao Liu2, and Cesare Franchini1,31Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia, Università di Bologna, Bologna — 2Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science, Institute of Metal Research — 3University of Vienna, Faculty of Physics and Center for Computational Materials Science, Vienna.

Recently, a breakthrough has been achieved with the synthesis of free-standing SrTiO3 ultrathin films down to the monolayer limit[1]; its optical and excitonic properties remain however largely unexplored. This talk will provide insights on the quasiparticle and excitonic properties of monolayer SrTiO3, employing many-body perturbation theory.

Our analysis[2] emphasizes the need to go beyond the diagonal GW approximation and include off-diagonal self-energy elements in order to obtain correct description of the orbital hybridizations. A fully satisfying description is achieved by treating non-locality in both exchange and correlation.

The optical properties are studied through the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We observe a significant enhancement of the excitonic effects with respect to the bulk phase, with a binding energy at the optical gap about four times greater. Furthermore, the two-dimensional polarizability at the long wavelength limit is dominated by two strongly bound excitonic peaks; their character is determined through the analysis of the excitonic wavefunctions.
