2DCS Cuts Parameter Correlation in MoSe2 Exciton Linewidths Versus Voigt Fits
The study shows 2DCS outperforms Voigt fitting for separating homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening in 2D-material excitons. It quantifies reduced parameter correlation via full chi-squared mapping on an 8 K MoSe2 sample. Future gated-device measurements would strengthen causal links to microscopic mechanisms.
The arXiv preprint demonstrates that diagonal and cross-diagonal slices in 2DCS supply orthogonal constraints on Lorentzian and Gaussian components. A joint uncertainty-weighted fit on the exciton resonance directly visualizes the chi-squared surface, showing that linear spectra leave sigma and gamma strongly degenerate while 2DCS isolates each width with lower covariance. This addresses a long-standing limitation in connecting optical linewidths to microscopic disorder and dissipation in transition-metal dichalcogenides. Related work on four-wave-mixing in WSe2 monolayers (Nat. Commun. 2022) reached similar conclusions but lacked the quantitative covariance mapping shown here. Extending the method to gate-tunable heterostructures would test whether the observed separation persists under varying screening and momentum scattering.
Cundiff: At least four groups will report 2DCS linewidth separations on gated TMD devices with >15 independent samples within 24 months.
