Theory of Exciton-Phonon Interaction for Stationary State Experiments in Atomically Thin Semiconductors — •Manuel Katzer, Andreas Knorr, and Malte Selig — Nichtlineare Optik und Quantenelektronik, Technische Universität Berlin, Hardenbergstr. 36, 10623 Berlin, Germany

Atomically thin semiconductors exhibit tightly bound electron hole pairs which stimulated exciton research in recent years [1]. While typical experimental techniques include the cw excitation of the material, only few is known theoretically about the related exciton dynamics and the formation of non-equilibrium steady states. Based on excitonic Boltzmann scattering equations, we demonstrate that the formation of such stationary states is also accompanied with the formation of phonon replica in the photoluminescence excitation spectrum [2], in agreement with available experiments [3]. So far, many studies focused on the understanding of exciton dynamics in the limit of weak excitation. Above this limit, we find both bosonic but also fermionic contributions to the thermalization, due to the co-bosonic nature of excitons. Based on a Heisenberg equation of motion ansatz [4], we discuss the first order of non-linear exciton-phonon interaction exceeding the classical Boltzmann scattering limit, in order to analyze the exciton thermalization at elevated excitation densities.
