Biexciton and two-exciton dissociated states of Frenkel-type excitons are studied theoretically using an exciton tight-binding (TB) model including a polarization degree of freedom. Because the biexciton consists of two cross-circularly polarized excitons, an on-site interaction (V) between the two excitons should be considered in addition to a nearest-neighbor two-exciton attractive interaction (δ). Although there are an infinitely large number of combinations of V and δ providing the observed binding energy of a biexciton, the wave function of the biexciton and two-exciton dissociated states is nearly independent of these parameter sets. This means that all the two-exciton states are uniquely determined from the exciton TB model. There are a spatially symmetric and an antisymmetric biexciton state for a one-dimensional (1D) lattice and two symmetric and one antisymmetric biexciton states at most for two- (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) lattices. In contrast, when the polarization degree of freedom is ignored, there is one biexciton state for 1D, 2D, and 3D lattices. For this study, a rapid and memory-saving calculation method for two-exciton states is extended to include the polarization degree of freedom.

By means of analytical calculations and numerical simulations, we study the diffusion properties in quasi-two-dimensional structures with two exciton subsystems with an exchange between them. The experimental realization is possible in systems where fast and slow exciton subsystems appear. For substantially different diffusion coefficients of the species, the negative diffusion can be observed if one measures the transport properties of only a single subsystem, just as was obtained in experimental studies for quasi-two-dimensional semiconductor systems.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are quantum confined systems with interesting optoelectronic properties, governed by Coulomb interactions in the monolayer (1L) limit, where strongly bound excitons provide a sensitive probe for many-body interactions. Here, we use two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) to investigate many-body interactions and their dynamics in 1L-WS at room temperature and with sub-10 fs time resolution. Our data reveal coherent interactions between the strongly detuned A and B exciton states in 1L-WS.

Bound and unbound Frenkel-exciton pairs are essential transient precursors for a variety of photophysical and biochemical processes. In this work, we identify bound and unbound Frenkel-exciton complexes in an electron push-pull polymer semiconductor using coherent two-dimensional spectroscopy. We find that the dominant A peak of the absorption vibronic progression is accompanied by a subpeak, each dressed by distinct vibrational modes.

Strain-Tunable Hyperbolic Exciton Polaritons in Monolayer Black Arsenic with Two Exciton Resonances.

Hyperbolic polaritons have been attracting increasing interest for applications in optoelectronics, biosensing, and super-resolution imaging. Here, we report the in-plane hyperbolic exciton polaritons in monolayer black-arsenic (B-As), where hyperbolicity arises strikingly from two exciton resonant peaks. Remarkably, the presence of two resonances at different momenta makes overall hyperbolicity highly tunable by strain, as the two exciton peaks can be merged into the same frequency to double the strength of hyperbolicity as well as light absorption under a 1.
