Abstract
Two-dimensional colloidal PbS nanosheets exhibit more than one order of magnitude larger exciton binding energy than their bulk counterpart, making it possible to generate stable excitons at room temperature. It is experimentally revealed that the binding energy of the exciton increases from 26 to 68 meV as the thickness of the PbS nanosheet decreases from 4.7 to 1.2 nm. The dielectric confinement of the exciton plays a critical role in the binding-energy enhancement. The large binding energy results in a fast thickness-dependent exciton radiative recombination rate, confirmed experimentally.
