The influence of Coulomb interaction screening on the excitons in disordered two-dimensional insulators

Abstract We study the joint effect of disorder and Coulomb interaction screening on the exciton spectra in two-dimensional (2D) structures. These can be van der Waals structures or heterostructures of organic (polymeric) semiconductors as well as inorganic substances like transition metal dichalcoge...
