Correlated quantum phenomena in one-dimensional (1D) systems that exhibit competing electronic and magnetic order are of strong interest for the study fundamental interactions excitations, such as Tomonaga-Luttinger liquids topological orders defects with properties completely different from quasiparticles expected their higher-dimensional counterparts.

The layered, air-stable van der Waals antiferromagnetic compound CrSBr exhibits pronounced coupling among its optical, electronic, and magnetic properties. As an example, exciton dynamics can be significantly influenced by lattice vibrations through exciton-phonon coupling. Using low-temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy, we demonstrate the effective between excitons phonons in nanometer-thick CrSBr. By careful analysis, identify that satellite peaks predominantly arise from interaction...

Among atomically thin semiconductors, CrSBr stands out as both its bulk and monolayer forms host tightly bound, quasi-one-dimensional excitons in a magnetic environment. Despite pivotal importance for solid-state research, the exciton lifetime has remained unknown. While terahertz polarization probing can directly trace all excitons, independently of interband selection rules, corresponding large far-field foci substantially exceed lateral sample dimensions. Here, we combine spectroscopy...
