Abstract: Bound electron–hole pairs called excitons determine the photophysical behavior of semiconducting materials. In this study, we present a combination of electron energy-loss spectroscopy in transmission and optical absorption spectroscopy for the investigation of excitons in bulk 2H-MoTe2. The exciton dispersion E(q) was measured for momentum transfers oriented along the ΓK and ΓM directions at 20 K. From the extracted dispersion relations, the in-plane exciton effective mass was determined. O[...]
