How is exciton binding energy calculated?
I am having some difficulties understanding values of exciton binding energies for $\ce{MoS2}$ monolayer. In various papers:
Interlayer and intralayer excitons in MoS2/WS2 and MoSe2/WSe2 ...

Why can't we change the spin angular momentum of electrons with an external optical field?
I have read this paper many times: Coupled Spin and Valley Physics in Monolayers of MoS2 and Other Group-VI Dichalcogenides. Interestingly, this paper is also discussed many times in this community, ...

How to evaluate the exciton velocity?
I have calculated the exciton wave functions using the GW-BSE method:
$$\tag{1}|S\rangle = \sum_{cv\mathbf{k}} A_{cv\mathbf{k}} |cv\mathbf{k}\rangle$$
where $c$ for conduction and $v$ for valence ...

How to understand the spin of exciton?
In very recent years, exciton physics has been intensively explored as the emergence of 2D materials. Exciton is a bound electron-hole pair and is bosonic, namely hosting an integer spin.
My first ...
