Exciton fission in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors

Owing to their atomically thin nature, 2D transition metal dichalcogenides host room temperature, strongly bound excitons. Here, the authors show that the thermodynamical balance between fission and fusion of excitons can be tuned by the dielectric environment and charge carrier doping and observed...
