The band-edge excitons observed in few-layer NiPS3
Abstract Band-edge excitons of few-layer nickel phosphorous trisulfide (NiPS3) are characterized via micro-thermal-modulated reflectance (μTR) measurements from 10 to 300 K. Prominent μTR features of the A exciton series and B are simultaneously detected near the band edge of NiPS3. The A exciton se...
