Platinum diselenide (PtSe2) has attracted huge attention due to its intriguing physical properties for both fundamental research and promising applications in electronics and optoelectronics. Here, we explored the optical properties of chemical vapor deposition-grown PtSe2 thin films with varied thicknesses via spectroscopic ellipsometry. The dielectric function was extracted by using a Lorentz model over the spectral range of 1.25–6.0 eV. We firstly ascribed the resonant energies, extracted from the Lorentz model, to different interband electronic transitions between valence bands and conduction bands in the Brillouin zone. A predicted exciton is observed at 2.18 eV for the monolayer and the corresponding exciton binding energy is 0.65 eV, in line with previous theoretical calculation and the measured absorption spectra. Additionally, the exciton peak shows a red shift with the increase of thickness, which is the consequence of strong interlayer interaction. These results enrich the fundamental understanding of PtSe2 and are conducive to its potential applications.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
