Optical study of excitonic complexes in transition metal dichalcogenides monolayers by Bao, Di

“…In this thesis, we investigate the excitonic structures of TMDs monolayers via optical spectroscopy. With near-resonance photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy, multiple scattering processes between excitons and phonons carrying non-zero wavevector are revealed, indicating the presence of indirect excitons whose constituent electrons and holes locate at different valleys. …”
