Graphene has attracted significant interest both for exploring fundamental science and a wide range of technological applications. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is currently the only working approach to grow graphene at wafer scale, which required industrial Unfortunately, CVD intrinsically polycrystalline, with pristine grains stitched together by disordered grain boundaries, can be either blessing or curse. On one hand, boundaries are expected degrade electrical mechanical properties...
Abstract The coupling between spin, charge, and lattice degrees of freedom plays an important role in a wide range fundamental phenomena. Monolayer semiconducting transitional metal dichalcogenides have emerged as outstanding platform for studying these effects.

For decades, static or frequency-independent approximations response, where increased is predicted cause an energy redshift resonance, have been sufficient. These were first applied wells more recently extended with initial success layered transition metal...
Polycrystalline graphene is a patchwork of coalescing grains varying lattice orientations and size, resulting from the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth at random nucleation sites on metallic substrates. The morphology grain boundaries has become an important topic given its fundamental role in limiting mobility charge carriers polycrystalline graphene, as compared to mechanically exfoliated samples. Here we report new insights current understanding transport geometries. We created...
Recently, the celebrated Keldysh potential has been widely used to describe Coulomb interaction of few-body complexes in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides. Using this model charged excitons (trions), one finds a strong dependence binding energy on whether is suspended air, supported SiO$_2$, or encapsulated hexagonal boron-nitride. However, empirical values trion energies show weak configuration. This deficiency indicates that description still lacking important class materials. We...
The role of defect-induced zero-energy modes on charge transport in graphene is investigated using Kubo and Landauer calculations. By tuning the density random distributions monovacancies either equally populating two sublattices or exclusively located a single sublattice, all conduction regimes are covered from direct tunneling through evanescent to mesoscopic bulk disordered graphene. Depending measurement geometry, defect density, broken sublattice symmetry, Dirac-point conductivity...
In this review we discuss the multifaceted problem of spin transport in hydrogenated graphene from a theoretical perspective. The current experimental findings suggest that hydrogenation can either increase or decrease lifetimes, which calls for clarification. We first spin–orbit coupling induced by local re-hybridization and C–H defect formation together with magnetic moment. First-principles calculations unravel strong interplay exchange couplings. concept scattering resonances, recently...
Recent experiments reporting an unexpectedly large spin Hall effect (SHE) in graphene decorated with adatoms have raised a fierce controversy. We apply numerically exact Kubo and Landauer-B\"uttiker formulas to realistic models of gold-decorated disordered (including adatom clustering) obtain the conductivity angle, as well nonlocal resistance quantity accessible experiments. Large angles $\ensuremath{\sim}0.1$ are obtained at zero temperature, but their dependence on clustering differs from...
Many-body interactions in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides are strongly affected by their unique band structure. We study these measuring the energy shift of neutral excitons (bound electron-hole pairs) gated ${\mathrm{WSe}}_{2}$ and ${\mathrm{MoSe}}_{2}$. Surprisingly, while blueshift exciton ${X}^{0}$ electron-doped samples can be more than 10 meV, hole-doped is nearly absent. Taking into account dynamical screening local-field effects, we present a transparent analytical model...
Monolayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) with unique spin-valley contrasting properties and remarkably strong excitonic effects continue to be a subject intense research interests. These model 2D semiconductors feature two fundamental intravalley excitons species–optically accessible 'bright' anti-parallel spins optically inactive 'dark' parallel spins. For applications exploiting radiative recombination bright or long lifetime dark excitons, it is essential...
Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides are ideal materials to control both spin and valley degrees freedom either electrically or optically. Nevertheless, optical excitation mostly generates excitons species with inherently short lifetime spin/valley relaxation time. Here we demonstrate a very efficient pumping resident electrons in n-doped WSe2 WS2 monolayers. We observe that, using continuous wave laser appropriate doping densities, negative trion doublet lines exhibit circular...

In the archetypal monolayer semiconductor WSe_{2}, distinct ordering of spin-polarized valleys (low-energy pockets) in conduction band allows for studies not only simple neutral excitons and charged (i.e., trions), but also more complex many-body states that are predicted at higher electron densities. We discuss magneto-optical measurements electron-rich WSe_{2} monolayers interpret spectral lines emerge high doping as optical transitions six-body exciton ("hexcitons") eight-body...

Plasmon phenomena normal metals, superconductors and doped semiconductors often driven by long-wavelength Coulomb interactions. However, crystals whose Fermi surface is comprised disconnected pockets Brillouin zone, collective electron excitations can also attain a shortwave component when electrons transition between these pockets.

Photoluminescence experiments from monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides often show that the binding energy of trions is conspicuously similar to optical phonons. This enigmatic coincidence calls into question whether phonons are involved in radiative recombination process. We address this problem, unraveling an intriguing transition mechanism.
