Large trion binding energy in monolayer WS2 via strain-enhanced electron–phonon coupling
摘要
Transition metal dichalcogenides and related layered materials in their monolayer and a few layers thicknesses regime provide a promising optoelectronic platform for exploring the excitonic- and many-body physics. Here, we have investigated the effects of nanoparticle-induced local strain on the optical properties of exciton, X0, and trion, X−, in monolayer WS2. Biaxial tensile strain up to 2.0% was quantified and verified by monitoring the changes in three prominent Raman modes of WS2:
