Abstract

We have investigated the electronic excitations in bulk 2H-MoS2 using electron energy-loss spectroscopy. The electron energy-loss spectra in the ΓM and ΓK directions were measured for various momentum transfer values. The results allow the identification of the A1 and B1 exciton peaks and in particular their energy-momentum dispersion. The dispersions exhibit approximately quadratic upward trends and slight anisotropies in the ΓM and ΓK directions. The fitted energy-momentum transfer functions allow the estimation of the effective masses of the excitons which are in close proximity to predicted values.
