Nonlinear exciton drift in piezoelectric two-dimensional materials (2012.13730v1)

Published 26 Dec 2020 in cond-mat.mes-hall

Abstract: Noncentrosymmetric nature of single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides manifest itself in the finite piezoelectricity and valley-Zeeman coupling. We microscopically model nonlinear exciton transport in nano-bubble of single-layers of transition metal dichalcogenide. Thanks to the giant piezoelectric effect, we obtain an enormous internal electric field, $E_{\rm piezo}\sim 107$V/m, resulting in a built-in dipole moment of excitons. We demonstrate that the piezo-induced dipole-dipole interaction provides a novel channel for the nonlinear exciton transport distinct from the conventional isotropic funneling of excitons and leading to the formation of hexagon-shaped exciton droplet on top of a circularly symmetric nano-bubble. The effect is tunable via the bubble size dependence of the piezo-electric field $E_{\rm piezo} \sim h2_{\rm max}/R3$ with $h_{\rm max}$ and $R$ being the bubble height and radius, respectively.
