Environmental Changes in MoTe2 Excitonic Dynamics by Defects-Activated Molecular Interaction

Published in ACS Nano 2015, 9 (5), 5326–5332, 2015

XPS measurements and DFT calculations reveal that defect-activated O2 functionalization at MoTe2 monolayer surfaces creates deep or shallow states within the optical band gap, governing the material’s excitonic dynamics and environmental aging response.
