Crossover from exciton polarons to trions in doped two-dimensional semiconductors at finite temperature

We study systematically the role of temperature in the optical response of doped two-dimensional semiconductors. By making use of a finite-temperature Fermi-polaron theory, we reveal a crossover from a quantum-degenerate regime with well-defined polaron quasiparticles to an incoherent regime at high...

By making use of a finite-temperature Fermi-polaron theory, we reveal a crossover from a quantum-degenerate regime with well-defined polaron quasiparticles to an incoherent regime at high temperature or low doping where the lowest-energy "attractive"polaron quasiparticle is destroyed, becoming subsumed into a broad trion-hole continuum.

description We study systematically the role of temperature in the optical response of doped two-dimensional semiconductors. By making use of a finite-temperature Fermi-polaron theory, we reveal a crossover from a quantum-degenerate regime with well-defined polaron quasiparticles to an incoherent regime at high temperature or low doping where the lowest-energy "attractive"polaron quasiparticle is destroyed, becoming subsumed into a broad trion-hole continuum.
