Abstract

Temperature and Fermi energy dependent exciton eigenenergies of monolayer molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) are calculated using an atomistic model. These exciton eigen-energies are used as the resonance frequencies of a hybrid Lorentz-Drude-Gaussian model, in which oscillation strengths and damping coefficients are obtained from the experimental results for the differential transmission and reflection spectra of monolayer MoS₂ coated quartz and silicon substrates, respectively. Numerical results compared to experimental results found in the literature reveal that the developed permittivity model can successfully represent the monolayer MoS₂ under different biasing conditions at different temperatures for the design and simulation of MoS₂ based opto-electronic devices.
