We develop a general theory of Fermi polarons at nonzero temperature, including particle-hole excitations of the Fermi sea shakeup to arbitrarily high orders. The exact set of equations of the spectral function is derived by using both Chevy ansatz and diagrammatic approach, and their equivalence is clarified to hold in free space only, with an unregularized infinitesimal interaction strength. The correction to the polaron spectral function arising from two-particle-hole excitations is explicitly examined for an exemplary case of Fermi polarons in one-dimensional optical lattices. We find quantitative improvements at low temperatures with the inclusion of two-particle-hole excitations, in both polaron energies and decay rates. Our exact theory of Fermi polarons with arbitrary orders of particle-hole excitations might be used to better understand the intriguing polaron dynamical responses in two or three dimensions, whether in free space or within lattices.

In doped semiconductors such as monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), the optical properties are predominantly determined by exciton polarons, which are coherent superpositions of excitons and electron-hole excitation pairs in the Fermi sea. Here, we theoretically study the effect of exciton polarons on thermal radiation in doped two-dimensional semiconductors. By deriving an emissivity formula in terms of the dielectric function and the thickness of two-dimensional semiconductors, we show that the emissivity spectrum exhibits a narrow peak at the energy of an exciton polaron.

Atom-ion hybrid systems are promising platforms for the quantum simulation of polaron physics in certain quantum materials. Here, we investigate the ionic Fermi polaron, a charged impurity in a polarized Fermi bath, at zero temperature using quantum Monte Carlo techniques. We compute the energy spectrum, residue, effective mass, and structural properties.

Article Synopsis
- The research explores how to trigger superconductivity in very thin semiconductor materials using excitons to create an effective attraction between electrons, expanding beyond traditional phonon-mediated superconductivity.
- By including interactions related to trions, the study shows that the electron-exciton interaction varies significantly with frequency and momentum, leading to a transition between weakly bound Cooper pairs and a superfluid state of bipolarons.
- Despite the complexity of strong-coupling conditions, the resulting bipolarons are lightweight, allowing for critical temperatures that can reach up to 10% of the Fermi temperature, suggesting that two-dimensional material heterostructures could be valuable for achieving high-temperature superconductivity when electron doping and trion effects are optimized.

Interaction between electrons and phonons in solids is a key effect defining the physical properties of materials, such as electrical and thermal conductivity. In transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), the electron-phonon coupling results in the formation of polarons, quasiparticles that manifest themselves as discrete features in the electronic spectral function. In this study, we report the formation of polarons at the alkali-dosed MoSe surface, where Rashba-like spin splitting of the conduction band states is caused by an inversion-symmetry breaking electric field.

Transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy is one of the most popular experimental methods to measure the excited state lifetimes and charge carrier recombination mechanisms in two dimensional (2D) semiconductors. This fundamental information is essential for designing and optimizing the next generation of ultrathin and lightweight 2D semiconductor-based optoelectronic devices. However, the interpretation of TA spectroscopy data varies across the community.
