Abstract
Excitons in transition metal dichalcogenide monolayer have recently attracted great interest due to their extremely large binding energy, causing giant bandgap renormalization. In this work, we examined the screening effect of graphite and bilayer graphene on the excitons in molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) monolayer grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Through the combinational study of scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements, we determined the binding energy of ~0.58 eV for MoSe2 monolayer on both substrates at 16 K, and no obvious difference between them. Our result is consistent with a previous report [Zhang et al 2015 Nano Letters 15, 6494], but is contradictory to another one [Ugeda 2014 Nature Materials 13, 1091]. Physical picture for no noticeable difference on screening effect between bilayer graphene and graphite substrate is discussed. Possible reasons for causing the discrepancy are also mentioned.
