Real- and momentum-space description of the excitons in bulk and monolayer chromium tri-halides

Abstract Excitons with large binding energies ~2–3 eV in CrX3 have been characterized as being localized (Frenkel) excitons that emerge from the atomic d − d transitions between the Cr-3d-t 2g and e g orbitals. The argument has gathered strength in recent years as the excitons in recently made monol...
