Plasmons and screening in a monolayer of MoS2

Abstract: We investigate the dynamical dielectric function of a monolayer of molybdenum disulfide within the random phase approximation. While in graphene damping of plasmons is caused by interband transitions, due to the large direct band gap in monolayer MoS 2 collective charge excitations enter the intraband electron hole continuum similarly to the situation in two-dimensional electron and hole gases. Since there is no electron-hole symmetry in MoS 2 , the plasmon energies in p-and n-doped samples clearly differ. The… Show more

“…In contrast, χ zz (q) has only terms with s = s ′ contributing, thus χ zz (q) is proportional to the Lindhard function χ 0 (q) calculated in Ref. 24. By similar arguments, it can be established that all off-diagonal elements of the spin-susceptibility tensor vanish.…”

“…Bulk MoS 2 has an indirect gap, while monolayer MoS 2 , which can be isolated by exfoliation techniques similar to graphene, is a direct-gap semiconductor with a gap of 1.9 eV. 7 Due to the large carrier mobility 8 , high current carrying capacity 9 , strong spin-orbit coupling, and coupling of spin and valley degrees of freedom, monolayer MoS 2 may become a replacement of graphene or even a candidate for the exploitation of novel valleytronic devices.…”

“…For parameters of MoS 2 [15,23,28], we obtain β ≈ 0.84 and thus σ ≈ σ 0 . There is thus a clear difference modeling MoS 2 with or without the mixing parameter β in the optical bulk absorption.…”
