Abstract

Most optoelectronic characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) materials are associated with excitonic effects. Excitonic effects in 2D material have been intensively investigated, and various efforts to engineer exciton behavior in 2D materials have been reported for advanced nanophotonic and optoelectronic applications. Excitons in 2D semiconductors can be controlled by external stimuli, including mechanical, electrical, thermal, and magnetic stimuli. Mechanical stimuli applied to a 2D material can generate uniform or non-uniform deformation and strain gradient in the 2D lattice, which creates a strain-induced bandgap energy gradient in the 2D material. In an inhomogeneous bandgap energy gradient generated by a non-uniform strain gradient, excitons drift across the energy gradient. Exciton engineering in deformed 2D materials aims to control exciton movement by mechanical strain. In this snapshot review, we focus on exciton engineering in a mechanically deformed 2D material and their potential towards advanced optoelectronic and photonic applications.
