Theory of Linear-Circular Dichroism in Monoatomic Layers of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides Taking into Account the Rabi Effect

Abstract

We have developed a theory of dimensional quantization for nanostructures, both one-dimensional and zero-dimensional, constructed from monoatomic layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). This theory has enabled us to derive expressions for the energy spectra of charge carriers in both even and odd states (relative to coordinate inversion), as these states occur within quantum-confined lines and points of the TMDC monoatomic layers, dependent on their geometric dimensions. Our numerical analysis provides a detailed exploration of the quantum-confined energy states of electrons within these nanostructures, offering insights into their potential applications in advanced nanoelectronic devices. This work not only advances our understanding of the energy characteristics of TMDC monoatomic layers but also contributes to the broader field of material science by exploring the effects of dimensional quantization on electronic properties.
