Exciton dispersion in two-dimensional organic perylene crystal indicates substantial charge-transfer exciton coupling

• Two-dimensional, high-quality perylene single crystals were grown with a space-confined strategy method. The grown films crystallize in the alpha form, as is confirmed by a combination of techniques. Polarization -dependent optical absorption measurements show a strong anisotropy in very good agreement with the literature data, and the anisotropic mobility data in field-effect transistors document the very high crystalline order. Momentum-dependent studies using electron energy-loss spectroscopy reveal a negative dispersion of the first exciton along the crystal b direction with an exciton bandwidth of 72 meV. We argue that this behavior is a result of charge-transfer exciton coupling between the perylene dimers in the unit cell.
