摘要:

当探索新材料在(光)电子器件应用中的潜力时,重要的是要了解各种载流子相互作用和散射过程的作用。过渡金属二硫属化物(TMD)半导体的研究最近取得了进展,实现了工作设备,其中包括发光二极管,纳米腔激光器和单光子发射器。在这些二维原子薄的半导体中,库仑相互作用比传统半导体(如GaAs)的量子阱强得多,这可以通过激子结合能大50倍来证明。问题是,这是否直接转化为激发载流子的等效更快的载流子-载流子库仑散射。在这里,我们表明,结合从头算能带结构和多体理论预测载流子弛豫在50 fs的时间尺度上,这是小于一个数量级的速度比量子阱。这些散射时间与最近报道的亚ps激子复合时间竞争,从而使其更难实现粒子数反转和激光。

英文摘要:

When exploring new materials for their potential in (opto)electronic device applications, it is important to understand the role of various carrier interaction and scattering processes. Research on transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors has recently progressed towards the realisation of working devices, which involve light-emitting diodes, nanocavity lasers, and single-photon emitters. In these two-dimensional atomically thin semiconductors, the Coulomb interaction is known to be much stronger than in quantum wells of conventional semiconductors like GaAs, as witnessed by the 50 times larger exciton binding energy. The question arises, whether this directly translates into equivalently faster carrier-carrier Coulomb scattering of excited carriers. Here we show that a combination of ab-initio band-structure and many-body theory predicts carrier relaxation on a 50-fs time scale, which is less than an order of magnitude faster than in quantum wells. These scattering times compete with the recently reported sub-ps exciton recombination times, thus making it harder to achieve population inversion and lasing.
