Abstract
Excitonic effects play an important role on the optoelectronic behavior of atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) crystals of the WS2 transition metal dichalcogenide. In this paper, neutral and charged exciton behaviors in monolayer WS2 are handled within effective-mass approximation for which the critical parameters are ensured from our ab initio calculations. Firstly, we reveal an exciton series with a novel energy dependence on the orbital angular momentum. Considerable control of the dielectric environment on neutral and charged excitons binding energies is elucidated. We demonstrate that for accepted values of effective masses, the negative and positive trion binding energies should be identical. Secondly, localization of neutral exciton center of mass motion by random potential arising from monolayer defects is also studied. The results obtained are in agreement with available experimental work.
